After installing Linux::Pid everything works. Looking at /usr/lib/perl5/Apache/SizeLimit/Core.pm, there's a BEGIN block (line 134) having elsif ($Config{'osname'} eq 'linux') { _load('Linux::Pid'); so it does use Linux::Pid. It also *tries* to use Linux::Smaps a couple of lines after, but this time it's optional and doesn't fail if it isn't there. Neither Linux::Pid nor Linux::Smaps is available on Debian Wheezy nor Sid, at the time of this writing. I believe Linux::Pid should've been a part of Debian Wheezy for Apache2::SizeLimit to work properly. -- Prof. Ernesto Hernández-Novich - MYS-220C - @iamemhn Geek by nature, Linux by choice, Debian of course.
