someone coulda told me to RTFM.. 8) then again I've read it before, so
it probably wouldn't have helped, but just for those who have doubts...
PerlFreshRestart is BAD!!
but it's bad in a weird way cos it didn't affect my test server, but
when I turned it off on the production server everything was good
again... 8)

yeh, read that... I guess I shoudn't have used the word crashes as
it's really dies when it tries to do a numeric comparison on an
alphanumeric string, which is entirely reasonable, so I'm not getting a
core dump, and I don't think mod_perl itself is at fault. I suspect the
implementation of GP/Pari as I ended up with the worst case as
mentioned in the Math::Pari install and manually copied (as instructed)
what I guess is a 'C' library file of some description (paricfg.h - I am
by no stretch a C programmer..) to the proper location. It all seemed to
work ok after that and as I had had troubles prior I already had my test
scripts which all ran fine so I thought Hooray! Then I implemented the
real system and got the errors mentioned.
What I still don't understand is why the test scripts run ok, but the
mod_perl implementation doesn't. (But on my dev server everything works
as it should..)
I'm going to reinstall GP/Pari on the production server using the
src.rpm I found on the Pari site, then if that goes ok I might be able
to install/update Math::Pari without errors, then maybe it'll all work..
that's the plan anyway..
cheers,
