Maybe this is the time to ask.
I am using Linux Debian, and getting Apache 2, perl and mod_perl 2
from there (apt-get).
I have never been quite sure which mpm the packager decided to
configure, as the apache2.conf contains parameters for prefork,
pthread and perchild. So,
a) which is the best way to find out ?
b) if it happened to be "worker" or something, could I just change
that to "prefork", or is there more to it ?
(Also so far, even if it is using a threaded mpm, it does not seem to
have any deleterious effect on my systems, which are pretty stable).
Thanks

The -D APACHE_MPM_DIR tells you which MPM your apache is using. In
order to change MPM's you need to recompile apache, and quite possibly
mod_perl as well, i have no idea how you'd accomplish that on debian
using apt.
Thanks.
In case anybody is interested, here it is thus under Debian Etch :

prefork thus.
I'll re-read the previous posts now, about what's better, faster,
sexier, etc..
