I'm not closing the file on purpose to try and simulate an error condition. My main question is why would it work differently from mod_perl 1.0 to 2.0?

But I'd say that your best bet is to really close the file after you're done with it, and not let it hang around. This so especially when you are expecting multiple threads/ processes accessing the same file.
