mod_cgi simply forks off separate processes. with mod_perl, the scripts
are interpreted and run in a Perl interpreter within apache. Krb4.so is
loaded just like any other shared library, and will conflict with apache
if duplicate symbols exist.
> Is there a way around the name clash problem?
yes. build Authen::Krb4 with KTH Kerberos, available at
http://www.pdc.kth.se/kth-krb. it's a bit cleaner wrt the DES library,
and it's much easier to build as well! :)
