Is there some relation between Perl threads and Apache threads? What I mean: If Apache fires a new thread, what happens in mod_perl? Are perl structures copied from the parent thread interpreter to the new one?
... or is the new perl environment clean?
Have you read this?

I believe this addresses your questions. For the details of how Perl threads work, read this:
