Hmm. It would be easy to add a Not designed for mod_perl environments! disclaimer to the pod.

However, given that mod_perl is essentially a hack--a very useful and effective one, but still a hack--I would think that the onus would be upon the users of mod_perl to understand the demands and limitations that environment imposes upon the code it runs, and avoid those modules that it will have problems with, but that will be very useful to those that do not run in that environment.

Mod_perl may be very good and widely used, but I don't think that compatibility with it should be a requirement imposed upon all CPAN modules.

From the little I know of what xdg is doing, I wonder if it could ever be compatible with mod_perl?
