Dear Monks -

I am in the process of porting a mod_perl app to mod_perl2.

The original mod_perl app has an interactive startup during which a DB password is prompted for.

During the mod_perl2 startup this feature works fine at first but mod_perl2 always does a restart and during the second restart STDERR is being redirected to the log files and STDIN is ignored.

So I am trying to figure out how to either:
1) Prevent the automatic restart or
2) Have STDERR and STDIN be tied to the terminal during the restart the same way they are during the initial start

Here info about my system: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) mod_apreq2-20051231/2.6.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0

Thank you in advance for any help/insight.
