I'm reasonable sure I got the leaks with apache 1.3.27 and mod_perl 1.27. I don't know about newer versions. I've looked again and can't find the code I used, I think it was defining a sub which was probably the leak. > >>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.

I took the "if you're running Perl code during restart" to include dynamic configuration code. I don't really understand the process so I'll defer to you. I'd just like to see <perl> sections mentioned as a possible culprit.
