Could this be a threading issue? Are you using 5.6.1 or 5.8 with mod_perl 2? I know that mod_perl 2 is far from ready for primetime especially under the threaded mpm's (which is what Win32 is forced to use). I use XP to develop for a Linux mod_perl 1 architecture so I'm raipdly getting out of my depth, but this sounds like the place to look. I've never heard of a Win32 specific mod_perl list ... :( -Chris
