in reply to Memory Size in Mod_Perl

What are you looking at that makes you think it takes 8MB? There is actually no way to tell how much physical memory a process is taking on modern Linux distributions, because top doesn't accurately reflect memory shared through copy-on-write. You can get more information about this from the mod_perl docs and by joining the mod_perl mailing list.

By the way, you already have Apache::RegistryLoader, although you may not have permission to modify your server's conf file.

    I have permission to modify the conf file, but they tell me it wasn't installed with apache and it would require a reinstall which they will not do.

      Apache::RegistryLoader is part of the mod_perl distribution, so it's there unless they specifically removed it. Try looking for it.

        When I try to use it it gives error could not be found in @inc

        I have root shell access to the server but am not sure how to go about reinstalling mod_perl with apache::registryloader, nor do I know the extent of help it will provide.
