Strange problems in mod_perl

I use cgi-lib.pl in my script.
It works well as a cgi script.
But when I use that script in mod_perl. 
I get a strange result:
Sometimes, the script runs well. 
But sometimes, it tells me that :
Undefined subroutine &Apache::.....::ReadParse 
called at product.pl line 40. 

It's really boring. 

Even I added:
eval { require "cgi-lib.pl" };
if ($@) {
    print "error, load cgi-lib.pl 
unsuccessful";  }

I did not get the message. I just get a undefined 
subroutin.

Any suggestion?

Your answer was right there in Geocrawler.
Found it by searching for cgi-lib.pl

I may be mistaken, but I believe I heard on this list that cgi-lib.pl is
not mod_perl compatible. Have you done a search for cgi-lib.pl in an
archive of this list?

Suggested fix: Use apache's API (libareq).  Alternatively, there is
CGI.pm, but that's not as efficient.
