[cgiapp] C:A and mod_perl2

[RA Jones <suppressed>]

I have successfully setup my CGI::Applications so that a single app 
module can be run under 3 different environments - mod_cgi instance 
script, ModPerl::Registry and an Apache PerlResponseHandler, under both 
Linux and WinXP OS's on a dual-boot development system. Firstly, is 
there any practical reason why this 3-way arrangement should not be done 
on a production (or even development) system?

Anyway, it seems to work well provided I set the handler method to call 
a separate Handler.pm module, which then 'uses' my main app module. As I 
should be able to dispense with the Handler module and put the handler 
directly into the main module, I used the scheme outlined in 
http://www.mail-archive.com/suppressed/msg00486.html.

But as I understand it, the 'sub handler ($$)' method is not available 
to mod_perl 2.0, and doesn't work anyway, so I substituted the mod_perl2 
'sub handler : method' as follows:

sub handler : method {
  my ($class, $r) = @_;

  my $self = $class->new(
   PARAMS => {
    't0' => [gettimeofday],
    # app_url changes according to whether called via mod_cgi, mp 
registry or mp handler
    'app_url' => 'http://127.0.0.1/hilis',
   }
  );
  $class->run();

  return Apache::OK;
}

This has no adverse effect when called via mod_cgi or MP:Registry 
(presumably they ignore it), but gives the following error when called 
via a Perl handler:

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] Can't use string ("HILIS4") as a HASH ref 
while "strict refs" in use at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/CGI/Application.pm line 449.\n

HILIS4 is the name of my app module. Line 449 of Application.pm reads:
unless (exists($self->{__QUERY_OBJ})) {

Also getting this error:
-e: Odd number of elements in anonymous hash at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/CGI/Application/Plugin/AnyTemplate/Base.pm 
line 85.

Perhaps these errors are connected? As far as I can tell the handler : 
method block is correct. Any ideas? Hope this is not too confusing.
