On Win32, Perl 5.6.1 is compiled with Multiplicity enabled by default, which may explain why my test mod_perl programs work OK, even under simultaneous load w/ ab.

Again, my understanding was that, things were OK for most language features, but certain constructs could still cause problems (Regex? Implicit operands? Can't remember, sorry).

Found these links that indirectly confirm:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/mod_perl_C1/modperl_F7/win32_apache2.0.40_mod_perl-2_P40183/

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Prerequisites

My "take away" is that mod_perl2 is not quite ready for heavy-duty production use, but is fine for development and light-duty use.

take it easy,
Charlie

Last I heard, it is Perl that needs to ripen. Specifically, there are still remaining issues in the interpreter that prevent multiple Perl instances within the same process.
That depends - if Perl, even 5.6.0, is compiled with Multiplicity enabled, that's not a problem. It's certainly possible that RedHat's Perl isn't compiled that way, though.

If you listen to a UNIX shell, can you hear the C?
Not sure.  What's that crashing sound?
