Hi,

I'm having a weird 'problem'... actually, it's just a nuisance, but I'd 
like to know if
1) it can be solved
2) it's only a nuisance or it could be hidin' something else...

I'm using:
apache httpd 2.0.48 w/mod_perl 1.99.12 (under RedHat linux 7.2 w/stock 
perl 5.6.1 installed from rpm) and I just started toying around with the 
<Perl > directive (in order to get VirtualHost data from an LDAP 
directory).

Everything is working OK, but whenever I use <Perl >, the output of "ps -
ef" changes.

I normally get something like:
root   3634     1  0 20:31 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/httpd -k start
nobody 3635  3634  0 20:31 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/httpd -k start
nobody 3636  3634  0 20:31 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/httpd -k start
nobody 3637  3634  0 20:31 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/httpd -k start
nobody 3638  3634  0 20:31 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/httpd -k start
nobody 3639  3634  0 20:31 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/httpd -k start

However, as soon as I put a single line between <Perl > and </Perl> (even 
if the line is empty), I get something like:
root   3738     1  2 20:34 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/-e    -k start
nobody 3739  3738  0 20:34 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/-e    -k start
nobody 3740  3738  0 20:34 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/-e    -k start
nobody 3741  3738  0 20:34 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/-e    -k start
nobody 3742  3738  0 20:34 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/-e    -k start
nobody 3743  3738  0 20:34 ?     00:00:00 /app/apache/bin/-e    -k start

ps -e keeps working fine:
 3738 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 3739 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 3740 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 3741 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 3742 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 3743 ?        00:00:00 httpd

Is this a bug?
A feature?
An error on my part?

TIA.
