yep, i wtite a totally simple cgi
------------------
#!/perl/bin/perl
use strict;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "Hello, World!";
------------------
and the same simpliest handler:
--------------------------
package MyTest;
use Apache;
use Apache::Constants;
sub handler{
my $r = shift;
print $r->send_http_header("text/html");
print "<h1>HELLO WORLD!</h1>";
return OK;
}
1;
--------------------------
and still no luck ;(((
Apache child still continued to grow in both cases. ;(((
I even turned off "KeepAlive" option in httpd.conf

I tried a plain Perl cgi script, with no module used, and still the
same. ;((
Do you mean that this leak cannot be fixed from Apache/mod_perl side ?

Sorry, but for now we're stuck with Apache 1.3.x, because we use module, which
cannot work with Apache 2.0. So i seek appropriate solution based on
Apache 1.3 version.
