Your conf does not look complete. For example, I don't even see the following lines: 
LoadFile Perl/bin/perl58.dll
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

LoadFile bin/libapreq2.dll
LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so

Earlier in the conf, I'm doing:

PerlSwitches -IX:/perl/5.8.8/site/lib
PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload
PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry

What's your modperl config like?

Ok, I decided to upgrade my Apache to see if that would fix things.
I installed 2.2.4, and I was getting the same error as originally reported... but more often. 
Then, I upgraded to 2.2.6 from the Apachelounge... and now I'm getting



an error.

The error is as follows:
[Tue Oct 09 08:50:20 2007] [error] [client 192.168.3.28] failed to resolve handler `ModPerl::Registry': Can't load 'X:/perl/5.8.8/site/lib/auto/Apache2/RequestRec/RequestRec.dll' for module Apache2::RequestRec: load_file:The specified procedure could not be found at X:/perl/5.8.8/lib/XSLoader.pm line 64.\n at X:/perl/5.8.8/site/lib/Apache2/XSLoader.pm line 31\nCompilation failed

I did do a fresh install of ModPerl 2.0.3, and I've seen similar "failed to resolve handler" messages on the web... but nothing like 
this.

Any suggestions/thoughts!

Thanks again,
Ian

Oh the problems come and go so quickly!
I've got one cgi script that always crashes apache. The error log gives the following message:
[Thu Oct 04 11:38:29 2007] [crit] (22)Invalid argument: Parent: Failed 
to create the child process.
[Thu Oct 04 11:38:29 2007] [crit] (OS 6)The handle is invalid.  :
master_main: create child process failed. Exiting.
[Thu Oct 04 11:38:29 2007] [notice] Parent: Forcing termination of child process 2474288
Other scripts run fine... so what would be the best way of debugging this. 

I'm in the process of commenting out modules/code, but no luck so

far...

any recommendations?

I'm using mod_perl 2.0.3, perl 5.8.8, apache 2.0.59 on a Windows 2003



server.

Thanks,
Ian

Is this a cgi script, or a mod_perl registry script?
Although the log messages are generic, similar messages appear when one tries to restart apache with mod_perl enabled - if it's a cgi script, does commenting out the loading of mod_perl.so help?
As for tracking down the problem, reducing it to a minimal version will help. If you can do this, and don't see the problem, try posting it to the list here. Also, trying some of the debugging tips suggested 


in the thread
   http://marc.info/?t=119137677000001&r=1&w=2
may help, along with installing
   http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/#source
to help in the crash analysis.
