Hi all
I am getting double hits in my Apache access.log on a server. This may be a real problem for me as there is a Perl/MySQL application that may get multiple updates.

It sounds like it might be a problem with your application - do you get this when you
try your application? Can you try to keep around the HTTP response (including the HTML
content) of the first response?
As for the double operation causing double changes - you should design your application to
sustain such an event (I think the term is "omnipotent", that a repeated operation is not effective).
