Re: No $r = no mod_perl?

Maybe you are using the wrong sethandler value for your application, check

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_GlobalRequest_

If you are using a global $r variable you should specify

SetHandler perl-script

and not

SetHandler modperl

Using the latter you get the $r variable as an argument to your handler-sub.
