[rt-users] Re: RT/FastCGI Problem with SimpleSearch

Jesse,

This is a very nasty bug. You may want to consider requiring CGI.pm >=
2.92 for further RT versions to make sure no one else wastes a day
debugging it like I had to...:)

Thanks,

Patrick LeBoutillier

BTW: The wiki is an excellent tool and I'm certain it will be very
useful in uniting the GPL RT community.
