Have you tried it without using CGI.pm? Have you tried writing a handler instead of using Apache::Registry? > I know that mod_perl on Windows is a development version but still > this memory leak thing is pretty obvious and should have been taken > care off. There's a pretty good chance that it's not mod_perl causing it. It may be just that Win32 perl grows a little when you run that CGI::header call over and over. The upcoming mod_perl 2 will have better support for Windows. You can find information on it here: http://perl.apache.org/release/docs/ - Perrin
