I can serve requests with no dramatic changes in httpd size. However, each
"apachectl restart" causes the size of httpd (both parent and children
version) to grow by about 600K each restart. I'm new to this stuff, so I'm
sure it's me. Is it possible that the restart loads again the modules - ie,
I get 2 copies of the modules in memory? If so, can I do something about it?
Or is the rule: don't use "restart", just use "stop/start"? If that's the
case, what's "restart" for?
I have stripped the mod_perl routine, the startup.pl, and the httpd.conf
down to the bare minimum, and I still see the symptom. These files are close
to being straight out of the various texts and web pages I've been using to
learn this stuff.
Here are the various files:
************* STRIPPED DOWN Decision.pm
use strict;
package Apache::Decision;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $file = $r->filename;
$r->print(qq!confirm("CONFIRM THIS");!);
return OK;
}
1;
