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
