Well, add XML::Parser, some large and twisted perl modules (like
XML::XSLT), do a lot of things dynamically (recompiling etc..) and apache
segfaults quite a lot, at random times, and even with some weird effects
(adding a comment makes httpd segfault, removing it and it works again).
Fortunately, once you found a source form where httpd starts up, mod_perl
seems to run fine for a long time.

I, too, used mod_perl for large projects _before_ and they ran stable (==
Apache::Registry). But the picture changes quite a bit when I started to
write my own mod_perl handler and to use the Apache::API extensively.

But this is very off-topic, at leats to my real concern (double parsing).
OTOH, the instability could very well be related to this as well.
