The single threading issue has more to do with mod_perl-1/Apache-1, and is addressed in mod_perl-2/Apache-2 - see http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/index.html, which also contains links to how to get Win32 binaries. mod_perl-2 can be used with perl-5.6.1, but seems to function better under perl-5.8, where some threading stuff is improved. -- best regards, randy kobes
