in reply to Don't understand END blocks in mod_perl

Assuming you're using mod_perl 1.X, check out docs about END blocks. Basically, END blocks are executed only when a child exits, not when a request is finished.

Also, check out your PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL environment variable setting. This may also affect whether END blocks are executed or not.

Hope this helps.

    Yeah, I've read that (it's basically word-for-word what is in the Eagle book by Stein & MacEachern). It's possible that the PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL setting is what's preventing the END blocks from running where I think they should. I'll look into that.
