In addition to Paul's advice, make sure you understand the output of your system's top command (or whatever you use to see process size). Usually there are multiple numbers, and some indicate real memory used while others indicate real + shared and virtual. There's info on this in the guide, and you can use modules like GTop or the size subs from Apache::SizeLimit to help figure it out. - Perrin

Can you start your server without File::Find or Convert::ASN1::parser? Assume that you have the following commented directive in your httpd.conf file: #PerlModule File::Find Start your httpd server and look at the memory usage. In my case I checked out /proc/PID/status on my linux box. In this case it shows VmSize: 8036 kB Next, uncomment out the directive line, restart and look at the memory usage... In my case it shows as: VmSize: 8380 kB So, about 300k in this instance..

Are you pre-loading this module? It probably doesn't really use 1MB in each process. - Perrin
