I have installed Randy Kobes' 5-10-2002 Apache-2/modperl-2 Win32 binaries on a Win2k Professional P3 uniprocessor development machine. I have left all of the startup.pl script as is. Everything works great--however, with some scripts I seem to still suffer from 1.3-style locks on the perl interpeter that prevent some other scripts from being served until a given dynamic request completes. I've poked around a bit and found that simple scripts (ones not using modules) will still be executed while another long-running process is executing (thus multithreading properly)--so I'm figuring it's probably a module issue (or I'm simply confused). The two modules I'm running predominantly are DBI 1.14 (with DBD::DB2 .74) and CGI 2.74, and I have verified that two scripts running simultaneously with these two modules will result in one blocking until the other completes.
Any/all ideas most welcome--and my sincerest thanks to Randy for his 1.3 and 2.0 binaries and other incredibly helpful docs/builds/info/etc. James
