You really shouldn't be serving static files from a mod_perl enabled apache. Not only will it mean you need more memory-heavy processes running, but if you use something like Apache::DBI to cache database handles then each static file request needs a database handle which means you can run out of db handles fairly quickly. Using a non-mod_perl (apache, squid, etc) front-end proxy is usually the recommended approach. http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/scenario.html#One_Plain_and_One_mod_perl_enabled_Apache_Servers -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
