I hesitate to post this because I haven't kept up with my reading. I did do several searches of my 28K message modperl mail folder and the list archives.
My httpd.conf reads... LoadModule perl_module /opt/apache/libexec/libperl.so #PerlModule Apache::Status PerlRequire /home/stevens.1/apache-perl/conf/startup.pl If I uncomment the PerlModule config, then no core dump. If I downgrade to perl-5.0.3, then no core dump. If I Configure -Uuselargefiles, I still core dump. Solaris bug, Perl bug, modperl bug, Apache bug, or driver error?
