[FormBuilder] FB, Apache2 & Mason

I'm being forced into migrating my current FB, Apache, Mason code to  
Apache2. I'm having trouble getting FB to be able access the  
submitted form data. In the past I simply created the new form object  
with params => $r and everything was OK.This doesn't work now.

I've tried using Apache2::Request->new($r) and CGI->new($r) instead  
but neither was successful.
I get the feeling I'm missing something fairly simple so thought I'd  
ask if anyone else has a setup like this and could help me see the  
light!

Thanks,

Guy

I believe you need RequestUtil. Apache2 really kinda screwed up
mod_perl IMO. You may also want to just try CGI->new w/o the $r, if
you haven't. I got Mason running, but it was a bit of a pain - make
sure you're on the latest version. Beyond that I personally don't have
any ideas, sorry...

Yeah that was lame.  That might have been the whole reason 
RedHate did their frankenstein mod_perl 1.99/Apache 2 build.  
I think they fixed that in the current version of libapreq2.

Re: [FormBuilder] FB, Apache2 & Mason

Thanks guys.

Having read the Mason docs I found the reason for the problems and  
the solution. Mason changes it's argument handling from a "mod_perl  
method" to a "CGI  method" when it detects mod_perl2. This is a  
change because previously the "mod_perl method" was the default.  
Anyway, there is a way to force Mason to use the "mod_perl method" so  
long as the latest Apache2::Request is installed (set args_method or  
MasonArgsMethod to "mod_perl"). Now all my forms work again without  
any other changes.
:-)

Thanks,

Guy
