The concept of a connection is at the transport level, way below HTTP. The HTTP protocol simply assumes a reliable transport (you don't even need an Internet:) and deals with exchanges of messages. See RFC1945. Read the Eagle Book (*), for more information about where mod_perl fits into the scheme of things. Chapter 3 has a good explanation of the Apache request cycle. 73, Ged.
