I started by upgrading CGI.pm to the latest release (3.01), but that didn't fix it.
Yes, but you also need the latest mp2. There was a bug both in mp2 and CGI.pm.
Both fixed in the latest versions.
modperl-2.0/Changes:
=item 1.99_11 - November 10, 2003
[...]
rewrite $r->read() and perlio read functions to use the same function,
which completely satisfies the read request if possible, on the way
getting rid of get_client_block and its supporting functions which
have problems and will most likely will be removed from the httpd-API
in the future. Directly manipulate bucket brigades instead. [Stas]

Does modperl-1.0 also need to have its read functions rewritten in a similar way?
I ask because Apache::ASP and CGI.pm no longer work happily together since CGI.pm version 3.01. That is to say, the Apache::ASP example for demonstrating CGI-compatibility:
http://www.apache-asp.org/eg/source.asp?file=cgi.htm
never returns data entered into the form because CGI.pm's param() function always returns empty.
This is on a MandrakeLinux 10 Community system w/ the vendor's perl 5.8.3, apache 1.3.29, and modperl1.0.
Using CGI.pm version 2.99, 3.00, or 3.00 with the patch you suggested in this email:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=106763759526580&w=2
the Apache::ASP example functions as expected.
Using CGI.pm version 3.00 with the patch you suggested in this email:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=106790808129123&w=2
or the CPAN CGI.pm versions 3.01, 3.03, 3.04, the Apache::ASP example functions incorrectly in the way indicated above.
