Hi Everyone, We're experiencing something really weird using LWP:UserAgent or IO:Socket with Apache. It turns out that our Perl process dies when we have a heavy load on our web server using these routines. We're using these routines to talk with a Java Servlet to do database interface. We need a persistant connection to the database without using DBI where it would be slow opening and closing connections for each instance of a cgi. This seems to work fine for awhile but a load of 5-10 CGI scripts launched; some will complete and some won't. We also thought of using mod Perl but its our lost resort. Any suggestions in similar setups out there to handle heavy load on Perl CGI calls?
