Hey Stephen, This definitely sounds like a problem you're going to need a debugger to figure out. Check out this article I wrote on debugging and profiling mod_perl applications: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2006/02/09/debug_mod_perl.html You'll need to install the Apache::DB module from CPAN, but once you get it setup and running it gives you access to the full Perl debugger. Hope this helps! ------------------------------------------------------- Frank Wiles, Revolution Systems, LLC.
