This is a disappointing piece of news. Perl itself is very useful on the
Windows environment. If modperl cannot be reliably deployed on Windows,
how can we expect the Windows developers (which form the majority of
developers) to consider adopting perl/ modperl for the enterprise?
I hope we can find people who can testify otherwise...

On that note, I have a contract (job) offer for anyone who knows their
way inside Perl (5.8) and mod_perl (2) enough to help troubleshoot a
win32-related crash. In short, once we put heavy load on the server,
we see a crash reported from inside libperl58.dll - my theory is that
it's thread-related, but I don't have the time to look into it
properly. If anyone thinks that they are capable of identifying and
fixing the problem, please email me.

Hello guys,
Just want to get some feedback from people here who use MP2 on
Windows for their production enviromment. For myself I have done MP2
on both FreeBSD and Windows platforms, and it seems to me that the
FreeBSD combo is more reliable. The Windows version on occasion (but
sure to happen) will throw out an error, and Apache will restart
automatically. Does anyone share the same experience?
