Make sure the user apache is running as has permissions on whatever file/directory you are trying to open. I'm not sure what the problem is from your post as it sounds like you have a method for tracking the problem (as much as the 'print' method is simple, it's often useful). You do have to be aware of the caching issue though. One solution to that is to disable your PostConfigRequire (if you have one) and set MaxRequestsPerChild to one. That way it'll spawn a new child for each request and save you restarting. (Obviously you wouldn't do this for production). > Also, I'm pretty thourogh about testing the perl modules with test scripts, > testing for results over many iterations, but it is apparent that I need > similar testing of the pm/cgi/apache/mod_perl/mason components working as a > whole.

There's Apache::Test (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Apache-Test/), which is designed to help test things that require apache to run. -- "Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.
