Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your help.
Yes, I also found that this problem appears only when running larger
projects.
If I try to run a simple "It works" web page, it works. I saw that even
running a mod_perl program that just prints an "Hello world" text it
also
works (but not always).
If I try to run a Catalyst app, which uses very many CPAN modules, most
of
the times it doesn't work.
It is strange, because I had previously used Apache 2.2.4 with
ActivePerl
built 822 and mod_perl 2.0.3 and it works successfully on other
computers
running Windows XP Pro and XP MediaCenter.
Can you tell me what hardware you are using?
I think that this issue appeared because of my combination of hardware.
I am using an Intel Core 2 duo at 3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM at 1066 MHz, an
Assus
motherboard with an Intel chipset (P35... or something with 35 in its
name),
a Creative SB X-FI EXtremeGamer sound card, an NVidia video card (7100
if I
remember well), and a SATA 2 hard disk at 10000 RPM.
Another thing... Can you please tell me what perlInterpStart means? How
can
I modify that parameter of perl?
And if you told that you also had this problem, can you tell me how do
you
made to solve it? Have you solved it by using ActivePerl 820?
I have read tens of forums and asked about my problem on more mailing
lists,
but with no success. Thank you very much for helping me.
Octavian

Octavian,
I am send you this direct because I have problems sending emails to
modperl
list ( not sure what is happening there).
I have found similar problems with Activestate 822 an Modperl 2.03 from
TheoryX.
The problems are only whith larger modperl projects. Some times after a
fresh restart it works, some time when I lower the perlInterpStart
parameter
it also works.
These problems where not there in version 820. So maybe you can try
running
with 820 to that helps.
Regards,
Thomas den Braber
