Disappearing $Request!

["Kulp, David" <da...@affymetrix.com>]

After using Apache::ASP for a few months, I've just started to see the
following error.  It repeats on multiple pages but usually goes away after a
few minutes.
Errors Output 
	$Request->Params object does not exist, enable with 'PerlSetVar
RequestParams 1' at
/nfs/linux/pkg/perl/build-1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/ASP.pm line 3382,
/nfs/linux/pkg/perl/build-1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/ASP.pm line 1556 

I have RequestParams set to 1 in the httpd.conf, and no .htaccess sets it
differently.  I can't imagine what I might have done to cause this to occur.

Any clues?

Thanks.

The actual code that does the Request->Params init looks like this:

    if($r->dir_config('RequestParams')) {
	$self->{'Params'} = bless { %$parsed_query, %$form }, 'Apache::ASP::Collection';
    } 

Its very likely that something is interfering with your RequestParams setting.
If you have a top level RequestParams setting in httpd.conf, I might
try a setting more directly in your VirtualHost or <Files>, <Directory>
tag, etc., in case the top level setting is being lost for some reason.

I had seen odd behavior with how mod_perl merges PerlSetVar settings
before, and could see something like this behaving inconsistently.

What really strikes me as odd is your report that it goes away
after a few minutes which implies to me that something gets loaded
at runtime that affects your mod_perl behavior.  This would point
to a .htaccess, but may even be some perl module?

Does this behavior occur after a fresh httpd stop/start ?
Is your's a DSO installation?, if so such oddities might 
go away if you rebuild with a statically linked mod_perl.
When DSO builds start messing up, they do so in an inconsistent
way from what I have seen.
