Greetings.

That may well be, but the problem is that my application runs queries against another application - and these can take a very long time (one of these can last minutes, and here startup/compilation times do not matter much).

In these cases, mod_perl's serializing behaviour freezes everybody else out,which is wholly unacceptable.

As a matter of fact, I am somewhat embittered that this fundamental flaw of mod_perl on win32 is not stated more clearly on the module packaging (so to speak).

Yes, apache.org warns about win32 being not on par with Unix, however this type of shortcoming would appear to warrant a little bit more detail, would'nt it?

Cheers, alf
