If you think you know where to bug is, I suggest your contact the mod_perl or PHP dev teams with *precise* information (see the SUPPORT file in the mod_perl documentation). > Meanwhile, I would like to take your advice and try >to set up 2 servers.

You put a lightweight Apache with mod_proxy at the front end, which clients connect to, then this server forwards requests for your mod_perl handlers to the dedicated mod_perl httpd that serves these requests. This method can then be extended to having separate application servers, for example for PHP or JSP. The Guide discusses this in great detail: look at "Real World Scenarios": http://perl.apache.org/guide/scenario.html I suggest you read this many times, and try to understand the point about it and how it's done. It might seem weird at first, but I can assure you it's a great technique. -- Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
