I thought mod_perl provide persistent environment, and no "global > destruction" should happen until a process served enough requests and > reached the end of lifecycle. My understanding was that it happend with a child process exiting after it hit its max requests .. of if you shutdown. What I might try if you're really curious is trying to run it through strace or truss (well your vms equivs) with httpd -X, unless someone else can give you an immediate answer, it often proved itself a useful approach. Might give you an idea of what is causing the process to die. Last night's enthusiasm has worn off. :) All the best. R.
