True... :) Is 4 simultaneous requesting threads with 100 queued serial requests for each thread enough to cause a requests to fail? CPU/RAM load was nominal. When I started only four testing threads, I thought I was going easy on mod_perl :)
mod_perl can handle more than that, but your code may not be able to.
Incidently, I rewrote the module to not use LWP::Useragent and XML::DOM to pull the XML document. I am using IO::Socket::INET instead.
Parsing XML and fetching things over the network are two very slow activities. I'm not surprised they were giving you grief. You should consider using HTTP::MHTTP or HTTP::GHTTP instead of LWP and XML::LibXML instead of XML::DOM. Those are much more efficient than the modules you're using now.
