Most of the resources are released. Only a few remain.

Normaly, it should be enoungh to limit the number of request per child. I
usualy set to 500 or 1000. This is a good idea in a dynamic environment
anyway, since also another part of your software could leak. On my test
machine, which has also 128MB (as you had before you changed the BIOS
setting), I didn't seen any memory problems, because of recompiling so far.

That's by design. Because Perl was not build with the idea of such things as
mod_perl. A normal scripts is compiled, runs and terminates.
I didn't make any research in this area for a long time, so maybe the things
have changed, with newer versions.
