This isn't really mod_perl related - for cgi-related problems, you'd be better off trying a cgi newsgroup, or googling for "Couldn't spawn child process". However, it's a common-enough problem that we included it in the Win32 mod_perl faq: http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/os/win32/faq.html -- best regards, randy kobes -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
