Having Just re-read your reply, (don't ask, waiting for a machine sync to finish, bored...!) I noticed that you said you didn't get an apache Object at all.
This is behaviour I've seen myself, and I never got a decent understanding of why it happens? So does anybody know under what circumstances it's possible to NOT get an Apache object passed into your handler subroutine? Does this happen when a subrequest occurs?
