All,
I apologize if this has already been covered...I looked at the archives since May but couldn't see anything covering this (there were related items but their solutions didn't solve this problem).
Here an explanation of the problem:
We want to post experiment results to an "upload server" which is running Apache HTTP Server (2.0.46) and mod_perl (1.99_09). When we post a sequence of files to the server, some of them are written to the local disk and some are not. That is, the test fails when using ModPerl::Registry but it succeeds when using ModPerl::PerlRun.
In analyzing which ones work and which ones do not, I wrote a quick test to see why the transfer is not working. From the looks of the results, it appears that the first request handled by a particular Apache process/thread "works" and that any subsequent requests handled by that thread "fail." Works means that the file in the test gets saved to disk and fail means that a file of size "0" gets written to disk.
Below are the httpd.conf segments (working and failing), the test client (test_client.pl) and the test server (test_server.pl which is accessible from the /cpdn/cgi-bin location).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
Also, does it matter if I use ModPerl::PerlRun instead of ModPerl::Registry (I have read some about this at http://apache.perl.org/docs/2.0/api/ModPerl/Registry.html but the documentation there is a little light).
The docs need work, this is just a copy of mp1 registry docs, which need adjustments. However most things work the same way. The differences between Registry and PerlRun are easily summarizes with this diff:

If you can try to take it from here and see what the problem is (your code/registry?), that would be cool. Thanks.
Also make sure you are using the latest CGI.pm (2.93 or higher is good).
