I had a similar issue one year ago with mod_perl 2.0.0-RC4 and perl
5.6.1 (same issue with perl 5.8).
The problem was due to the use of LibXML (which is the fastest xml
parsing library I found to parse large XML files) with mod_perl and
apache in a multi-threaded environment. I also had some issues with
SOAP-Lite module in my environment.
I had to go back to a CGI application to solve this problem, but I don't
have a highly loaded server at this time.

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.
What version of perl are you using? There were some
threads-related fixes introduced in perl-5.8.8 that
solved some problems with earlier versions.
