1.. Find out what environment you are in, if it is a shared server then it is unlikely you are using mod_perl. To test what you have - telnet to the server on port 80, then issue the command:

HEAD / HTTP/1.0

The server will respond telling you what the Apache was compiled with.

How do you know it is from a previous invocation? It could be the 'password manager' in the browser. Try two invocations from totally separate browsers (on the same machine and then on different machines).

If that doesn't clear the problem - show us some code - as somebody asked for earlier. We are good, be we aren't phsycic.
