Ask yourself why you want to call an exit() function. Do you really want to terminate the process? If you were to call exit() within the Apache/mod_perl process, things would fall over rather badly from the perspective of the user of a browser, and maybe elsewhere too. Perhaps you really want to stop handling the request, so all you need to do is to tell Apache that you're done. To do that, usually you'd return a value like OK or DECLINED to Apache. Then it can do all the cleaning up that has to be done. > The User Guide at http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/index.html Huge, isn't it? :) > However, the Apache documentation itself does not mention an exit() > function.

If you must, have a look in Apache.xs - (but don't say I didn't warn you...:) 73, Ged.
