No, it works fine from a shell or from mod_cgi so there is definitely some
weirdnes with mod_perl. I know it does some nasty things to your namespace
and I/O so this isn't entirely surprising, but I've yet to figure out just
exactly what's going on.

The immediate reason for the error is that "check" SIGPIPEs when I try to
write to "onsgmls"' STDIN.

I don't expect Apache::Registry's interface to change all that much under
Apache 2.0. It's mostly a "CGI workalike". Rewriting it as a handler, OTOH,
will wait for Apache 2.0. :-)

Editor's note: in the last update,   we noted that Larry Wall would "vomment"
on existing RFCs. Some took that to be a cross between "vomit" and "comment."
We are unsure of whether it was a subconscious slip or a typographical error.
We are also unsure of whether or not to regret the error.     -- use.perl.org
