Mod_perl and win32 --more experience

[Tümer Garip <tg...@neu.edu.tr>]

Hi all,
There has been quite a few reports about mod_perl causing segment faults
in Win32 boxes on the list (including me). Thanks to all that responded
with suggestions. Here is my latest findings:
1- I have mod_perl2.0.3 apache2.2.4 working on a Windows 2003 box.(Dual
xceleron IBM server)
2- Using standart binaries for perl (activePerl and Apache) is perfectly
fine. No need to compile them yourself.
3- XML::Libxml or anything that uses it like XML::Simple will definitely
crash the system under heavy load. I now use Expat and under most heavy
tests it survives. This is a very usefull package and may be somebody
will look into it.
4- Another culprit was a not a very common package HTML::Template::Pro.
Segment faults  (saying free to wrong pool) again under heavy use. I now
use HTML::Template and works fine.

So I can now say Mod_Perl rocks on a production Library system running
on Windows Box.

Hope it helps to others
