Hi all,

Just thought I’d share an issue I encountered today. You can see the details at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24719, but it boils down to how using multiple CGI objects (using the CGI module) can lead to unexpected behaviour.

In this case, file uploads were failing in /cgi-bin/koha/tools/stage-marc-import.pl because the CGI object created in a different function in the included C4::Auth was setting and clearing global variables behind the scenes just by calling CGI->new().

Just sharing this I suppose so that we’re careful with our use of the CGI module?
