Subject: CGI.pm throwing error when running under modperl Response handler
If you use Text::MediawikiFormat in a mod_perl server - but use a handler which doesn't expose $r as a global variable (i.e. if you use modperl) as the handler type, then Text::MediawikiFormat fails with a major bug in CGI.pm Text::MediawikiFormat can circumvent this by useing HTML::Entities (replace the use CGI qw(:common) with use HTML::Entities) and all references to CGI::escapeHTML with encode_entities.
