If I switch to mp2 then the Perl interpreter is now multi-threaded, thus removing the performance bottleneck, which should be great except for one thing: All our mp code involves DBI (& DBD-mysql), but DBI is not thread-safe!
I thought DBI was thread-safe at this point. It's more likely DBD::mysql that is not.
Is there a way to configure mp2 to build with a non-threaded Perl, or at least to run it in such a way as to not make use of the Perl interpreter's threads, in order to simulate mp1-style behaviour?
Sure, see http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#Threads_Mode_Specific_Directives
Just tell it to start a single Perl interpreter, and you will still get apache threads without perl that handle static stuff.
Of course I haven't tried this stuff personally on win32, but you can grab the latest mp2 and try it out yourself.
