Hello,
I've had problems with <Perl> sections causing leaks with graceful restart, at least with some versions/setups of mod_perl. I thought the problem should be noted in the guide.
A patch is attached for: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/troubleshooting.pod.orig
I no longer have my test code, it was a while ago. Here's the link and mail exchange that confirmed my tests:

Thanks for the patch, Brad. But are you sure this is still the case with the latest mp1? This thread that you've quoted is 4 years old. And it doesn't show any code that may cause such a leak.
Or do you refer to this note:
it's not a crime, but if you're running Perl code during restart there's a strong chance you'll be growing the server size. i agree 1M is bizarre though.
In which case this should probably mention:
+Also, be aware that <Perl> sections can also cause leaks during +graceful restarts. See the (sub)thread: +http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/modperl/304620
"when running some perl code"? as in 'besides using <perl> sections to do dynamic configuration'?
