Thanks for your response. Sorry I wasn't clear; the httpd processes
don't actually kill the server, they just slow Apache right down to the
point at which it doesn't respond to requests any more. I am still able
to get onto the box and kill the processes etc. without having to do a
hard reboot or anything. My question is what's causing Apache to get
into the state where it can't fork any more shells from Perl.


Activate mod_status and look at it's output. I suspect you'll see a lot of W's, L's or C's. This can give you a hint what your server processes are doing.

Or even better -- use Apache::VMonitor :)
