As you are using Windows, mod_perl 1.x isn't really an option, as Windows doesn't support forking (at least that's my understanding, I never tried running Apache on Win) So you should go with mod_perl 2.x > I was thinking of using Apache::Request to process form data, > Apache::Cookie, Apache::DBI for persistent db connections and something for > user authorization.

Sort of, but somebody with mod_perl 2 experience should be able to tell you more on this issue. > BTW I put all the perl modules that my application uses (except my own) in a > startup.pl file and added a PerlRequire directive to httpd.conf.

Again, I'm running mod_perl on Linux, but it definitly is normal to get quite a huge increase in memory usage. See http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html for more (mod_perl 1 related) info, or (mod_perl2): http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/performance/prevent.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/performance/mpm.html -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.zsi.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/} -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
