The Prefork MPM has the following settings:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxRequestWorkers 150
MaxConnectionsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
I see these Apache directives but the documentation states that they only
apply to a threaded mod_perl/Apache which prefork definitely is not:
PerlInterpStart
PerlInterpMax
PerlInterpMinSpare
PerlInterpMaxSpare
PerlInterpMaxRequests
How does mod_perl allocate interpreters to the prefork worker processes? Is
there one perl interpreter for each of preform worker? Is there a pool of
perl interpreters which is smaller than the pool of prefork workers? Are
there settings for configuring the size of the perl interpreter pool? When
a request comes in, does the user have to wait for a perl interpreter
process to start or is there already one waiting for them?
