[mp1.26] Mod_perl ignore $\

[Mike Mimic <pp...@yahoo.com>]

Hi!

I have found mod_perl bug.

Mod_perl ignore value of $\ varibale and it does not
print its contents after each print call.

As this is deviation from Perl lanugage I consider
this a bug.

Here is a simple program which works under normal
Perl (from shell) and from Apache as CGI program
(not under mod_perl) but it fails under mod_perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$\ = "\n";
print 'Line 1';
print 'Line 2'; 

It's ouput when ran from shell:
=========================================
Content-type: text/html

Line 1
Line 2 
=========================================

It's ouput when ran under mod_cgi:
=========================================
Line 1
Line 2 
=========================================

It's ouput when ran under mod_perl:
=========================================
Line 1Line 2 
=========================================

I would like to know how can I correct this.
Is there any patch? Is there a workaround.

thanks for the bug report.  I added it to the listing so we can keep 
track of it.
