different Apache child?

[Andre Landwehr <an...@gmx.net>]

Hi,
I have a page with several <form>fields on it and try to evaluate
these fields on another page with %fdat (they are passed via
post method). On that other page I use an "Execute" statement
before I use %fdat. In most cases I get correct data, but
sometimes %fdat contains data from previous requests to my
page. This odd behaviour is no longer reproducable as soon as I
delete the "Execute" statement.
Is it possible that Execute leads to a different Apache child
handling the request, which of course would have different data
in %fdat? Since I did use similar constructions many times before
without any problems it is also very possible that I just don't
see the obvious here, so could somebody please give me a hint?

Btw: my embperl version is 1.3b2

After further tests it seems no longer to be embperl's fault but
a rather nasty bug in my own code *blush* 
%fdat always holds the correct values

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience...

sounds strange..., but %fdat is global, so anything you do inside the
executed page will also visible after the return of the Execute. How does
%fdat look inside the called page? ok or not?

No, Execute runs always in the same Apache child.

Which version of mod_perl? Is mod_perl build as DSO?
