in reply to Apache / 30,000 Perl script serving limit

Today we have installed Apache/2.2.8 HP-UX_Apache-based_Web_Server (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_16 Perl/v5.8.8 DAV/2. And guess what? The issue is non-existent. While we have not found what caused the issue on the previous version of Apache, or which if any, of all our production environment configurations we have that causes the issue, but we will sequentially replicate the production environment with the new software and we will see where/if it re-appears. It may turn out that the new version successfully resolves the problem

I would of liked to reply this to all who contributed, to tell them that I very much esteem them and this community for all their good intentions and willingness to help.

Here's to hoping I will be able to help some of the newer folks here as well down the line

    Did anyone have any more time to look at this again. I have a very similar issue and would love to know what caused it in version 2.0.59. I am running HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64. I have tried all of the above suggestions and so far nothing seems to assist with the issue. Regards Ben

      In your httpd.conf, try removing mod_cgi and enable only mod_perl, for us this solved the 30,000 perl script execution limit even on the Apache 2.0 web server, but it can mean that some of your cgi scripts will need to be modified to be compatible with mod_perl. A few of ours required a few 'my $variables' to be changed to 'our $variables'. This porting documentation helped.
