Periodic random script failures - Need pointers

["Manoj Bist" <suppressed>]

Hi,
I need help in figuring out why my mod perl registry script fails randomly/periodicall on 'https'.
I am using modperl2 on ubuntu-dapper (libapache2-mod-perl2             2.0.2-2.3ubuntu1).

The registry script is used to login over https. The script periodically/randomly gives internal error because in the following code snippet $r is coming as undefined. This happens randomly but periodically.
Any pointers/insights to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.


    my $r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;
    my $host = $r->hostname        || $r->server->server_hostname; <=========== This fails randomly because $r is undefined.

I am using mod-ssl  
Thanks,

Manoj.
