Hola -- We're playing with a large OO Perl 5 project under mod_perl.
Apache/2.0.48 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_13 Perl/v5.8.3 mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.7d Linux 2.4.21-192-default #1 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux (SuSe) The project is a beast: some 150 OO classes are used to perform operations. The memory footprint under command-line perl runs up to 30MB per process. We're trying to launch all that goo up front with a startup: PerlRequire /usr/local/apache2/conf/startup.pl And it seems to "work" -- the httpd threads immediately jump to 30MB or so on Apache launch w/ no client activity. If we're using mod_perl (and startup.pl) correctly what ballpark memory footprint should we expect to see when we run, say, 10 simultaneous clients against the server? Should we expect a RAM footprint something like 10 30MB httpd's 10 30MB perl's (600MB total) ? Or should we expect something more like 10 30MB httpd's 10 4MB perl's (340MB total) ? Or should there be no perl processes running at all because perl is embedded in httpd? Just looking for super-rough ballparks of where we should be setting our expectations. Right now we're seeing the first behavior, which makes me think we're doing something wrong...?
