 So typical modules like MD5 and MIME::Body are "bad" modules?

DBI, XML::Parser, mod_perl... :)

 i don't think he is saying that the module is "bad",
 he is saying that modules that use XS, with apache
 mod_perl have caused  problems with startup and restarts.
 based on the running posts regarding
  dlopen and dlclose, i'd say he was correct.

 Hi everyone,
 
 I don't know what's causing this, and there are no errors being logged in
 my error_log.
 
 I'm running apache 1.3.9, mod_perl 1.21, linux 6.1
 
 I have a startup.pl with a bunch of modules in it. If I run the startup.pl
 by itself it is fine, does not report errors... however, if I run httpd it
 dies, never gets off the ground. 

try runninng 'httpd -X' under gdb.

 If I go thru my list of modules and
 remove some of them, then everything starts up fine...

Without having checked your list, I'll wager that the "good" modules
are all pure perl and the "bad" ones use machine-language XS
extensions.

You will need to link mod_perl statically to apache or wait for a
resolution to this problem -- see the thread "Apache 1.3.9 + mod_perl
1.21 + Solaris 2.7 dumps core".

There is nothing wrong with the modules, that's why I put "bad" in
inverted commas.  They are only "bad" in the sense that they trigger a 
bug in dynamically-linked mod_perl.
