I have tried many things to solve this problem. Many thanks go to
Geoffrey Young who helped me privately (and clued me into a great
solution to another future maintenance problem as well!). In the end, I
have decided that it is Stronghold's fault. :-)
So I compiled and configured a seperate apache(1.3.12)/mod_perl(1.24) to
run the non-SSL sites. I also use PerlSerVar to determine the sitename
and siteID from within each VHost section. This enables me to alias a
common cgi-bin for all sites and have one set of scripts for everyone.
While I'm testing the new configuration, I'll turn PerlWarn On and see
if I get any of the "won't stay shared" messages.
Thus far, I haven't run into any problems with the new
server/configuration... I'm keeping fingers crossed. Thanks to those
people who suggested solutions.
