This revelation of how Perl does not free up memory it allocates is
worrying, especially as I do process large documents regularly.
If I read you right, you are saying that $r-child_terminate will force
the current thread to terminate, causing Apache to create a new thread.
Is that
But having said that, I find Apache2::Reload very handy for easy and quick
development.
Me too!
Although I find that occasionally I have to restart apache on the
development box before it'll work correctly. Hence I wouldn't run it on a
production server.

In (eg) the worker MPM, each process contains its own perl interpreter,
so if each process handles one image once in its lifetime, there is a
lot of memory that has been grabbed by perl which is not available to
create more perl processes.
... is what makes sense to me but may be utterly
Hello Carl,
Nope that's right, so you load up one image. The perl process
allocates itself 100MB of memory for it from the OS. Then doesn't
release it back to the OS once it's finished with.
The perl process will re-use this memory, so if you process another
image you don't grab another
You can try memory management yourself and see that the memory allocated
is not wiped until the script is finished.

Well this example does not demonstrate the problem it demonstrates the
solution to let perl free memory allocated once by setting the variable
to undef ;-)
