that putting the word CGI into ==='s makes it dissapear.

Terry worked out that its the cpan CGI module, thats being clever with what it obviously thinks is a reserved word.

Sounds like this should be reported/fixed upstream?

Test case: CGI and CIA (CGI and CIA)

Reprioritizing to normal; this is not a release blocker.

-- PTh - 25 Sep 2007

Yes, this should be reported upstream.

-- TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny - 25 Sep 2007

I assume from the lack of tracking information that no-one has followed this up.

At Apr 14th, there was an answer to the report:

This is part of a more general bug that can't be fixed. The workaround is to call CGI->code('CGI') or $q=new CGI; $q->code('CGI')

The bug is unfixable cause CGI.pm was designed to have procedural and OO interfaces. Remember that Foo::bar('Foo', 'baz') is equivalent to Foo->bar('baz'), I mean: CGI::code('CGI') is interpreted as CGI->code() and we have no output! As stated, a good workaround is: CGI->code($text). Translated to TWiki (don't worry about revision number. I use a private mirror with SVK to develop):

I'll test it later and if unit tests passes, I'll checkin.

It was also needed to change CGI::b() to CGI->b().
