I write an hadler for mod_perl.

The handler seems ok and it works well but if I create a thread inside this handler with fork the new thread will never destroy.

I include the following code as example :

$pid = fork();
if( $pid == 0 )
{
    my $p_pid;
$p_pid = getppid;
print "+START Child process: $$.$p_pid " ;
sleep 1;
print "+EXIT Child process: $$.$p_pid ";
exit;
}
else
{
     my $status_pid = 0;
}

each time I create the thread I got a new instance of http, which will not disappear , even after exit

nobody 20874 20817 0 09:16 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd

Any suggestion ?
