Hi.
in _initialize_mod_perl(), CGI::Simple is checking if $mod_perl::VERSION
is >= 2.00.
However, the *ACTUAL* version that the great rename into the Apache2
namespace happened was in the 2.0.0-RC5 release of mod_perl, which has
$mod_perl::VERSION set to 1.999022. Because of this, CGI::Simple fails
to work if run under mod_perl2 2.0.0-RC5. Yes I know this is an ancient
release, but there was a version of RHEL that shipped with this (RHEL5
IIRC).
The fix is simple:
diff --git a/lib/CGI/Simple.pm b/lib/CGI/Simple.pm
index 52d5198..ef71760 100644
--- a/lib/CGI/Simple.pm
+++ b/lib/CGI/Simple.pm
@@ -229,7 +229,7 @@ sub _initialize_mod_perl {
if ( defined $mod_perl::VERSION ) {
- if ( $mod_perl::VERSION >= 2.00 ) {
+ if ( $mod_perl::VERSION >= 1.999022 ) {
$self->{'.mod_perl'} = 2;
require Apache2::RequestRec;
Thanks in advance.
