Hello, I am writing this here because when I googled about this problem, Stas had found this bug as well and highlighted it's particularly bad side effects in persistent mp apps. I realize that it's a really a perl problem.
I operate an application that serves about 15mil mp2 generated pages per day using the worker mpm. After upgrading to perl 5.8.1 from 5.8.0 during a distribution upgrade, I noticed a steady memory leak that eventually leads to the server failing. Stas found a similar problem and isolated it to the s/// operator. I have followed the debugging method that he did and yes, this seems to be the culprit of our issues as well. My question is, for a persistent mp2 app, is there a potential way to workaround? I don't quite follow how perl maintainers track bugs but found the following bug id's for blead perl #21868 and #21920 for maint. Here is a URL with most of the thread on p5p: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg73076.html Thanks! -- Richard F. Rebel [EMAIL PROTECTED] t. 212.239.0000
