I just ran into the silent-failure problem again today, when a sysadmin unknowingly upgraded glibc underneath mod_perl built as a DSO. Unfortunately, it was on a production system; fortunately, it was not on a very important production system, and rebuilding the tools fixed the problem. In anticipation of the postmortem meeting, I'm trying to find out if this problem still exists in mod_perl 2.0. Websearches have been fruitless; any pe[a]rls of wisdom from the list? Charlton
