Title: RE: mod_perl child processes using way too much RAM





Checkout Apache::SizeLimit. You can put something like this in your startup.pl:


use Apache::SizeLimit;
$Apache::SizeLimit::MAX_PROCESS_UNSHARED_SIZE = 2;
$Apache::SizeLimit::CHECK_EVERY_N_REQUESTS = 2;

Apache::SizeLimit (and others) can do this.

mod_perl child processes using way too much RAM

[Bob Foster]

Hi,

I have a single script which is working but making the httpd_perl child
processes jump to 60 Megs or more.  I've asked the programmer to fix the
script, but until he does, I'm wondering if I can either:

1.  Force the script to run under PerlRun or under normal CGI.  The
problem is that I run all the scripts in the directory under mod_perl. 
And this script is called from a large number of other files and the
directory is hard-coded in those files so I can't move it easily.  

Or,

2.  Cause any httpd_perl child process which exceeds 20 megabytes in
memory usage to terminate after it's done.

Thanks!

Bob
