Apache::ASP->Loader() lost functionality ?

Somewhere in between version upgrades of Apache::ASP, I seem to have to 
have missed some of the functionality of the loader.
It seems that the following code
-----------------
Apache::ASP->Loader(
        '/opt/apache/htdocs',"(asp)\$",
                Global          => '/var/tmp',
                Debug           => 1,
                UseStrict       => 1,
                StatINC         => 0);
-----------------
does not honour the ``UseStrict'' and will not return any errors 
encountered while compiling scripts (the legendary ``variable $x 
redefined at ...'' springs to mind).
It won't even catch typos (ie syntax errors).
Any idea why this happens ?

Did you upgrade anything else besides Apache::ASP ?

I am not aware of any problems here, nor any changes that
would affect what you are seeing, but can look into it.
It seems more likely that something like a perl upgrade
or mod_perl/apache upgrade would affect this behavior
than Apache::ASP changes, since as you say even syntax
errors are being missed.

Can you set Debug -1 in Loader() and get me a trace from
when you start the server to when you run the buggy script
for the first time?

Thanks,

Josh
