Not really... Are you using a worker or prefork MPM? Apache 1.3 is worker only (daemons, not multi-threaded). If you are using a multi-threaded apache there could be synchronization issues, especially with DB but that's just a shot in the dark. Otherwise, I found this thread: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=636194 but it's not really too similar...
