From my point of view we should have pool of perl clones per each
module instance.
This way we could have multiple perl instances (each with its own perl
script to run).
Limiting on perl clone or interp per server thread will limit the
multiple instances feature of rlm_perl.
Again playing with min and max spare can give us some possibility's
to force not unload perl interpreter during the lifetime of server and
this way we can keep some DB handlers not to reconnect each time.
Alan what is your point ?

Yes, that would be great. One perl interpreter
per freeradius thread, that is. And I suppose the
CLONE function would work again as expected (i.e. each
freeradius thread would have its own perl interpreter and
each script relaying on this interpreter would have its
own connection to the DB). And the perl clones will not be
controlled by the perl.conf (as in 2.0.x) but from the
max_servers directive in radiusd.conf, right?
I am ready for testing whenever you have a patch ready.

A quest to make it better. If we were satisfied with the
functionality of the server in 1.0, we would have had no improvements
since then.
In any case, it looks like it may be easy to change it so that there
is one Perl thread per server thread. Would you be prepared to test
patches?
