On a solaris 8 server with Apache 2.6 and perl 5.8.8, we have an
html/javascript file that uses HTTP Post to a perl script.  The perl script
sends data back via HTTP get to a redirected HTML file. The HTML file strips
off data from the command line of the URL (suff after the "?") and then
posts more data to the perl script until all of the data it needs is
retreived. This works fine in perl without mod-perl enabled, but loops in
modperl, as if the initial connection for the first request is still open
and the same data is being endlessly sent back.  This happens on later
versions of Solaris as well.

We did find that after what seems like many interations of the looping, the
data finally get processed and the subsequent screen appears, but that is
after a minute at least.  When not using mod_perl, this doesn't happen.  The
developer wanted to put in a "wait" type command to see if that worked, but
it did not make a difference.

Has anyone seen this type of behavior?

Thank you very much
