[Tclhttpd-users] CGI.pm -- vs -- TclHttpd?

[Robert W. <bwi...@no...>]

Did the interoperability problem between CGI.pm and TclHttpd ever
get resolved?

To re-cap the issue:

I'm trying to use faq-o-matic 

(http://www.dartmouth.edu/~jonh/ff-serve/cache/1.html)

with tcl-httpd, but I get malformed urls from 
it.  It works fine from apache.

The problem is that all URLs it generates (from forms
or whatever) have the initial part of the URL prepended.

For example, if I start it with http://www.xxx.com/cgi-bin/fom.cgi,
I'll get urls like this:

http://www.xxx.comhttp://www.xxx.com/cgi-bin/fom.cgi?cmd=install&step=&temppass=xyzzy&Submit=Submit

I've narrowed this down to the Perl CGI library.  Here is a
test CGI:

  #!/usr/local/bin/perl

  use CGI qw/:standard/;

  $cgi = new CGI;
  $cgiUrl = $cgi->url();

  print header;
  print start_html('CGI->url bug demo');
  print h2("CGI version: ".$CGI::VERSION);
  print h2("CGI->url(): ".$cgiUrl);
  print end_html;

On tclhttpd I get:

  CGI version: 2.56
  CGI->url(): http://www.xxx.comhttp://www.xxx.com/cgi-bin/cgitest.cgi

On Apache I get:

  CGI version: 2.56
  CGI->url(): http://www.xxx.com/bcc/cgi-bin/cgitest.cgi

Any ideas why?  Is is just me?
