in thread Apache Registry with Server Side Includes

aha !
running the dump before, during and after a series of calls to the test script demonstrated that after the first call (and every other call) to the script, that there was one "count" parameter, and it always remained at 5:
$VAR1 = bless( { ".parameters" => [ "count" ], "count" => [ 5 ], (... the rest was deleted...)
but why???

    Aha x2.

    Using this changed the behavior to what I expected:

    CGI::initialize_globals;

    Info found at, where else:

    http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11194

    By googling cgi.pm param caching

    Note that this seemed to clear the params from the object, as shown by the CGIDebug, but did not affect the "count" parameter.

    Thanks for all the help, folks.
