So, due to this being the mod_perl list there must be somebody here who knows what's going on deep down in the guts of the beast :) > There seems to be an additional bug in either Apache::DBI or mod_perl > 1, since $Apache::ServerStarting == 1 seems not to be true the second > time through. Can you have your Perl section print out the values of > $Apache::ServerStarting and $Apache::ServerReStarting? This gives me: Apache::ServerStarting = 1 Apache::ServerReStarting = 0 once(!) on server startup - no matter if I "use" my handler or load it via PerlModule. --Tobias
