Bug #94423 for CGI: CGI::Fast vs. Cs STDOUT

Hi, Just switched a program from CGI to CGI+CGI::Fast (3.52, 1.08). The program uses RRDs::graph to generate plots. RRDs::graph has always been asked to write output to "-". This now ends in the fastcgi servers error.log. This is not so strange because: # ls -l /proc/29271/fd total 0 lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 april 4 09:34 0 -> socket:[167469517] l-wx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 april 4 09:34 1 -> /var/log/apache2/error.log lr-x------ 1 www-data www-data 64 april 4 09:34 12 -> pipe:[167465616] l-wx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 april 4 09:34 15 -> pipe:[167465617] l-wx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 april 4 09:34 2 -> /var/log/apache2/error.log lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 april 4 09:34 3 -> socket:[167468310] So the C code is writing to Cs STDOUT and FCGI/CGI::Fast fools with file descriptors, more than just CGI does. It would be more according to the Principle of Least Surprise if filedescriptor 1 also pointed back to the client channel. (in the mean time I'm sending the PNG files via a disk file and then sysread/syswriting it to perls STDOUT.) Regards, Nicolai
