I'm running mod_perl 2 on RedHat with Apache 2.0.44 and I'm using NamedBased Virtual Hosting in apache (so I have a number of virtual hosts and apache directs properly based on hostname).
I use a startup.pl to load up common things like DBI, CGI, HTML::Template etc..
Should I have just a single startup.pl and will that work with all virtual hosts? Or should I have a startup.pl per virtual host.
AFAIK, and with mod_perl 1.x, having multiple startup.pl's makes no sense as they all get executed during server startup and in the main namespace.
That's correct only for mod_perl 1.0.
For mod_perl 2.0 this depends on whether 'PerlOptions +Parent' is set or not. If it is each vhost can have their own startup.pl (only that vhost will ever execute/see the code that run from it). It's documented here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_Parent_
(though as someone reported PerlOptions +Parent doesn't work inside the <Location> container, I haven't had a chance to work on it yet.)
However this is all new code and not very tested yet, so I won't be surprised if there are problems with it. If you have problems report them as explained here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#Reporting_Problems
