Hi all, There has been quite a few reports about mod_perl causing segment faults in Win32 boxes on the list (including me). Thanks to all that responded with suggestions. Here is my latest findings: 1- I have mod_perl2.0.3 apache2.2.4 working on a Windows 2003 box.(Dual xceleron IBM server) 2- Using standart binaries for perl (activePerl and Apache) is perfectly fine. No need to compile them yourself. 3- XML::Libxml or anything that uses it like XML::Simple will definitely crash the system under heavy load. I now use Expat and under most heavy tests it survives. This is a very usefull package and may be somebody will look into it. 4- Another culprit was a not a very common package HTML::Template::Pro. Segment faults (saying free to wrong pool) again under heavy use. I now use HTML::Template and works fine.
So I can now say Mod_Perl rocks on a production Library system running on Windows Box. Hope it helps to others Tumer Garip
