I don't know anything about modperl, however it looks like you need to use Apache2::Filter and use it to extract the user agent from the headers, something like : `$f->r->headers_in->{'User-Agent'}` [download] See the Modperl documentation for more information.	[reply] [d/l]

You don't need filter. You use the request object, usually called $r, which you get passed in the beginning of your handler. It's what you get back from $f->r() there. If you're using ModPerl::Registry, it will also be in %ENV.	[reply]

Dump %ENV, it sould be there `use CGI(); print CGI->header, CGI->new(\%ENV)->Dump; __END__` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
