Problem reading from STDIN

[Pramod Sokke <pr...@investools.com>]

Hi all,

We've moved all our old perl cgi scripts to run under mod_perl(PerlRun) now.
There's a peculiar problem I'm seeing with POST requests. Basically, I'm not able to read anything from stdin at all.
For eg, if I just have a form that takes some data, that data is just not available at all.
I know this is a very fundamental thing, but I'm definitely missing something here.
Could anybody please throw some light on this?

mod_perl 1.24/Apache 1.3.12/Perl 5.005_03

Thanks,
Pramod

If your code is clean I'm sure you'll be able to use Apache::Registry
and things should work just as if you were using CGI.

See the 'Porting' section of the Guide for more info about STDIN (and
grep for "use strict" while you're at it:).

No I don't have the <Limit> directive.
Also, I read a couple of other similar questions on the list. While I didn't
find anything specific to this question, there are lot there that seem to
indicate that the only way to access STDIN under mod_perl is to use
Apache::Request.
Is that right? Does this mean I have to change our legacy code to reflect
this?
Thanks,
Pramod

Have you got a <Limit> directive somewhere in the config?
