I recently installed Apache and mod_perl 1.99 on a re-deployed W2K server and ported our search code. Everything looked great. Performance is excellent when it's working. DB connections are down, so persistence seems to work. My problem is that the server goes comatose and my error logs fill up with the same error message over and over....

Unfortunately, this didn't show up until we went live and put a load on the machine. Now, serving 400,000-500,000 scripts a day produces error files that are 200-500KB. Today was even worse, 2.5MB of errors. Rebooting sometimes helps for a while, but still, the server definately dies for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

So, I have two questios:

1) Has anyone gotten around the problems with mod_perl in Windows? If so, how?

2) I installed a trial version of PerlEx today which appears to work perfectly with my modified mod_perl scripts by only adding the PerlEx::DBI call. Is PerlEx ready for prime time or will have different problems with it?

Thanks, Rod
