MP2 Subrequest questions

[Anthony Gardner <suppressed>]

Yes, back to this, I'm afraid.

The good news is, things are working (kind of). the bad news is ........... to me, it isn't intuative.

Why am I unable to pass notes to the sub process? I can pass notes back from the sub process!!

On returning from the sub process, I've lost most of my %ENV configuration. The only variables remaining are the vars I've set up in httpd.conf and $ENV{MOD_PERL}.

To get around this problem, I backed up %ENV to %ENV_BKUP and restored upon returning. %ENV = %ENV_BKUP (thus, overwring the vars that remained in %ENV after the sub request).

This introduced a bug. On a fresh restart, this little hack worked upon making a sub request. But, when a child was hit for a second time it had lost the $ENV{MOD_PERL| and was being reated as a CGI request.

To get around this, I deleted $ENV_BKUP{MOD_PERL} and  other vars of mine from %ENV_BKUP and then whacked the remaining stuff over to %ENV (thus preserving
 $ENV{MOD_PERL} etc.) . 

That works. but, a hack is a hack is a hack and I feel it's shouldn;t be necessary.

I know the docs say that a limited environment is passed to the sub process, but the main thing out of this that I don;t understand is ... why overwriting $ENV{MOD_PERL},  and the remaining %ENV vars with the same values from %ENV_BKUP  ..... fcuks everything up.

I know this is long winded but it's all true ;)

Any pointers would be great.

CIA ............. AGAIN!!!!!
