This is a known problem with mod_perl 1.x on Win32. Sockets only work when you make it single-threaded (ThreadsPerChild 1). Doing that doesn't make a difference in terms of your actual script performance, since mod_perl is already single-threaded on Win32, but it will make images slow. One solution is to serve the images from a separate web server. - Perrin
