mod_perl2 and Apache::SharedMem

[Boysenberry Payne]

I'm trying to spread my pre apache child memory load appropriately  
and have a few questions.

Is Apache::SharedMem working with mod_perl2 the "same" way it did  
with mod_perl1?

Is Apache::SharedMem the "preferred" way to handle sharing memory  
between apache children?

Are modules loaded using "use ModuleName;" in an apache startup.pl  
file loaded into shared memory
or copied to each child separately?

Thanks,
