Subject: mod_perl 2.x: sometimes CGI params do not get refreshed on subsequent request
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 10:28:08 +0200

The bug in #57184 has just been seen in CGI 3.63 in Apache2 Server Version: Apache/2.2.25 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.25 OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips mod_cntr/2.5.6 mod_perl/2.0.8 Perl/v5.16.3 A request https://sld.tld/dynamic/dynname.pl?zone=xxxx&ttlrr=14400....... picked up the same previous request several times. This was confirmed from two different clients. A graceful reload of Apache cleared the condition. - Jørgen Thomsen

Do you have a test case that can reproduce this? Given it's mod_perl i am suspicious that this is either related to global variables (possibly within CGI.pm), a CGI object that doesn't go out of scope in the calling code, or a code path that leads to something *else* not going out of scope. I have little interest in investigating this myself as there is currently zero test coverage for mod_perl in the CGI.pm distribution, so unless a failing test case is submit i'm going to close this issue.
Closing for aforementioned reason
