On further investigation, there is no problem between Apache2::Request and KeepAlive, as I had previously accused.
The problem was that the checking routines, after form data was obtained from Apache2::Request, included a Perl module called Mail::CheckUser. This module performed various transactions on the Internet, to check the authenticity of an email address submitted in the form. These Mail::CheckUser calls work fine under Apache1 and mod_perl(1). When the Mail::CheckUser calls are commented out under Apache2 and mod_perl2, our handler performs correctly. Can anyone suggest a way (possibly including an external process initiated by the subject mod_perl2 handler) by which this mod_perl handler can: 1. use the lengthy checking performed by Mail::CheckUser, and 2. allow the Apache2 server to maintain KeepAlive???
