I think I must have gone nuts. One browser request gives me two of everything. Everything is doubled - the log file entries and the brwoser output. The two outputs seem to be separated by about a second. As you can imagine this really screws up my output html.

This problem also happens when I switch apache into single-threaded mode, if I use straight CGI, whatever. Running it off the command line, it appears that my module (Common.pm) gets loaded twice, but the program only runs once.

Going through my backups they all seem to do it, and yet I'm sure I would have noticed this problem a week ago. What could I have done to get this effect?
