I don't think there is a single answer to the question "does mod_perl
work as a DSO?". No one seems to have analysed an instance of the
problem in sufficient detail to give a statement-by-statement account
of exactly what goes wrong and why. There may be more than one
failure mechanism on different operating systems and versions of libc
/ perl / apache / mod_perl / 'used' modules / whatever. The analysis is
non-trivial and requires someone with time and a good understanding of
shared-libraries and the guts of apache and perl.
The best pragmatic advice at the moment is: if you have problems using
mod_perl as a DSO, recompile apache and link mod_perl statically.
