Therefore, "in the same manner" is no longer applicable. mod_cgi forks to run processes. mod_perl doesn't fork. mod_perl can run Perl code via the embedded Perl interpreter, and this interpreter can cause a fork. But mod_perl doesn't inherently fork at all. And the distinction is important, especially in the context of this discussion (setuid with "mod_perl"). -- Randal L.
