Re: Memory usage on reload and graceful -- still broken?
I had the same issue on Linux. My build had mod_perl compiled in static but mod_so was also compiled in. PerlFreshRestart was off, I didn't have any Perl sections, and no modules were loaded dynamically. My root process would grow by about 1MB each time it was HUPed. Something about mod_so was causing it to grow even though every module used was staticly compiled in. I tried everything I could think of when compiling to have mod_so compiled in without having memory growth problems, but eventually I gave up and eliminated it from my build.

I was going to get into this at some stage before family illness took
me almost completely away from work, but since this thread has cropped
up I might as well mention it. Dunno if it's relevant, but it's
suspicious.
When I do apachectl restart on Linux 2.0.34/libc5/1.3.9/1.21/5.005_03
(static build!) I noticed that for each restart @INC appeared to have
an extra copy of the same element, which is set in the BEGIN block in
startup.pl by a line like `use lib sever_root_relative("lib/perl");'.
Unfortunately this is on my development machine and I am away from my
office because of the family problems so I can't give you much more
than that at present. I expect to visit my office sometime within the
next week so if you think there is anything that I can send to help
pin this down please let me know and I'll try to oblige. It's no
sweat to me at all, of course. I'm not even sure I'm getting @INC
correctly - it's well down on my priorities to check it at present.
73,
Ged.
