I haven't used this but it looks like $r->cleanup_for_exec is used, in the child once forked, to close the socket connecting Apache and the client, failing which the child will hold on to the socket as long as it runs, which will prevent Apache from reclaiming the same address on restart (as explained in "Freeing the Parent Process" on the page you're referring to). Looks like cleanup_for_exec was part of a mod_perl 1.0 third-party module, isn't needed in mod_perl 2.0 any more and is only provided as a NOOP in Apache2::compat. http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/compat.html#C____r_E_gt_cleanup_for_exec___ \,,,/ (o o) ------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------ $r->cleanup_for_exec wasn't a part of the mp1 core API, but lived in a 3rd party module Apache2::SubProcess [this should read Apache::SubProcess - M.L.]. That module's functionality is now a part of mod_perl 2.0 API. But Apache 2.0 doesn't need this function any longer. ------------------------- This is the 1.0 third-party module defining cleanup_for_exec: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DOUGM/Apache-SubProcess-0.03/SubProcess.xs The other function you're wondering about, spawn_proc_prog in mod_perl 2.0 (Apache2::SubProcess), seems to be for running external programs from mod_perl 2.0. The 1.0 equivalents, I think, are described in the sections "Starting a Long Running External Program" and "Starting a Short Running External Program" on the page you're referring to. > [1]: > http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Forking_and_Executing_Subprocesses_from_mod_perl > > [2]: > http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#A_Complete_Fork_Example -- Michael Ludwig
