CustomLog "| /usr/bin/myperl.pl" "%h" Apache normally starts ONE copy of the perl script. However because this perl script bombs out, it keeps trying to restart the perl script (everytime it tries to log a hit as defined in the CustomLog). Eventually we had the maximum number of apache processes running and apache stopped responding to any requests.
