Apparently Embperl isn't simply calling the preload routine again at shutdown... for some reason, the httpd daemon is just sitting there hanging for 30 seconds or so at shutdown. I tried tracing to a log file, and the PreLoadFiles routine in Embperl wasn't being executed again at shutdown. So I don't know why the server hangs like that rather than just shutting down. It's got something to do with Embperl, though, because when I switch preloading off, it shuts down very quickly with no hang on that last process. A mystery.
