Gerald;

That seems to have had a positive effect.  Are you suggesting that we code
that in all forms which use multipart/form-data encoding, or were you now
planning on calling that function internally to Embperl?

Now that that problem seems to be resolved, there is another failure
happening.  I am getting this error in the apache error_log:

[Mon Nov 22 11:14:47 2004] [error] [client 192.168.13.203] FastCGI: server
"/home/drayner/www/fcgi-bin/epocgi.pl" stderr: Mon Nov 22 11:14:47 2004: Use
of uninitialized value in string eq at /home/drayner/pmg/bin/read_license.pl
line 2956.
[20858]ERR:  24:  Error in Perl code: Mon Nov 22 11:14:47 2004: Can't locate
object method "FILENO" via package "FCGI::Stream" at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/IPC/Open3.pm line 149.

I see that there is a function in FCGI.pm called FILENO, but it is commented
out.  I re-enabled that function, and did not see the above error again, but
I did start to see another error:

[Mon Nov 22 11:19:56 2004] [error] [client 192.168.13.203] FastCGI: server
"/home/drayner/www/fcgi-bin/epocgi.pl" stderr: Mon Nov 22 11:19:56 2004: Use
of uninitialized value in string eq at /home/drayner/pmg/bin/read_license.pl
line 2956.
[21548]ERR:  24:  Error in Perl code: Mon Nov 22 11:19:57 2004: Not a GLOB
reference at
/home/drayner/perllib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/FCGI.pm line
125.

I see that the comments around the FILENO function on FCGI.pm mention what
value to return, and suggest a defined but meaningless value (-2).  I wonder
if this value being returned by FILENO is what is causing the "Not a GLOB
reference" above.

Any more ideas on this subject would be welcomed.  We need to move forward
with either mod_perl or FastCGI to get the performance we want from Embperl.
We have a minor preference for FastCGI if we can get it working...
