I'd like to thank you all. I've been enlightened by this thread. Apparently mod_perl/apache _can_ be crashed, but then only the specific httpd child process will crash. Or did I get it wrong? On the other hand, it _is_ possible to use a mod_perl/apache server on a high port using

- He claims that he cannot allow me to run anything under mod_perl (and derivatives as Embperl) because mod_perl brings Apache down when it crashes. The typical mod_perl setup is a lightwieght front-end server which redirects mod_perl request to a second mod_perl enabled server. This is done
