Yep, it's the same config as few other bits I have running, also I have multiple instances of this code (one per db table, less cgi varaible passing that way), no matter which instance I go to I get the same inconsistant behaviour, I can sit here and hit refresh and every so often i'll get a 500, same data being requested every time :(

As for globals, I dont have any (or need any) i've made 100% certian that every variable is defined and that they're done so where needed.

Oh and I do get one error message, the usual "Undefined subroutine" job, but nothign at all usefull :(

Oh and the mod_perl book was a good idea, but it's sat next to me as i've already been through it :)
