Hi, My CGI application runs well on Plain CGI environment. But now I am trying it on mod_perl. It throws the following error:

Attempting to process state: advanced_search Attempting to process sta
+te: run_search [Wed Jan 28 10:09:27 2009] -e: Use of uninitialized va

If I configure apache(httpd.conf) for the following setting, my application works and retrieve the search results
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

But if I change my configuration to:
PerlModule ModPerl::RegistryPrefork
Alias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
<Location /cgi-bin>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::RegistryPrefork
PerlSendHeader On
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>

Then only i received the error I mentioned above.
please suggest?
