in reply to mod_perl configuration error?

Look, I can't include code because it tells too much about our system config. I dont want PM to be a hacker knowledge database :-)

I just need some guidelines, how to avoid mod_perl in my script, or accidental forking.

    hmm. Tall order. try this: standard form of a mod_perl routine: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
packate Foo;
use CGI;
use MyLibrary;
sub handler {
	my $q = new CGI;
	my $someparam=$q->param('someparam');
	$someparam=MyLibrary::FooProcess($someparam);
	my $output ="Hello and welcome to FooCo!"
	if ($someparam eq 'foo') {
		# handle foo
		$output .= "You said Foo! heh heh!";
	}
	else {
		# default
		$output .= "Nobody gives me any input";
	}
	print $q->header,$output;
	return;
}
## and the mod_perl config 

<Location /cgi-bin/foo.pl>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Foo
</location>
    Does your code differ dramatically from this?
