Greetings,

I do not know what mod_perl experience you are starting from (and you are not saying how are you running it: Apache::Registry, I presume?).

Startup can be tricky, however. So I suggest you look in the mod_perl guide (if you have not done it already) to get useful suggestions on pitfalls, debugging etc.

Shooting in the dark (and assuming Apache::Registry) you may bhe falling prey of the "embedded subroutine" trap. If so ypu can easily find out by turning warnings on and looking in your error log: can you see complaints about variables that "will not stay shared" ?
Cheers,
alf
