Yes.  But see my other response -- you probably don't want
internal_redirect if you're trying to gather up the output.

Are you using mod_perl 2?  If so, you should be calling it like this:
$r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;

The code you showed looked like it was trying to cache $r in some
other object, which you have to be really careful about.  You're
likely to accidentally keep one around and try to use the $r from a
previous request, especially if you get into subrequests and
internal_redirects.

Nothing means .......... not working. It's not entering the called script.

As for $r, the $self is actually a WWW::Utils package and some of the routines within that package call on Apache->request when running under MP. Nothing gets stored.

I know the called CGI script is passed $r but I thought it was better/cleaner to call it as I have.

I'm not at work now so will have to look at this further tomorrow. As long as I know I should be able to do it, then I have a goal.

I tried sub requests ......... from memory, sth like

$sub_rec = $r->lookup_file( '/path/to/script');
$rc = $sub_rec->run()

and although that entered the script, I didn;t get 200 returned. Plus, where would the content be? Stored in the $sub_rec?

Will look into this further tomorrow.

Thanks very, very much for all your help thus far .......... will get back to you ;)
