Apache::Request->new() problem

["Herrington, Jack" <ja...@Certive.com>]

I have the same problem as one of the previous reporters with
Apache::Request->new().  The problem occurs whether I call it after a 'use'
or after a 'PerlModule' load.  Perl returns the no 'new' method could be
found for Apache::Request.

My setup is:

Apache 1.3.12
mod_perl 1.24
Perl 6.5
Redhat 6.2
libapreq 0.31

Both Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie exhibit the same symptoms, and
simply running this Perl script:

use Apache::Request;
my $apr = Apache::Request->new( $r );

Gives exactly the same response (as opposed to complaining about the
unititliazed $r).

Is there anywhere I can locate the original Apache::Request all-Perl code?

sounds to me like your script is not running under mod_perl.
Apache/Request.pm calls this to bootstrap the xs interface:

    __PACKAGE__->mod_perl::boot($VERSION);

if you are not running under mod_perl ($ENV{MOD_PERL} is not set), then
the interface is not bootstrapped.  this is done so 'perl -c' can be run
on scripts that 'use Apache::*' with apis only available when running
inside the server.
