Known bugs with so's and mod_perl 1.21??

[Rafiq Ismail <ra...@codix.net>]

I'm getting a rather odd situation on one of our boxes:

spec
----
Sun OS 5.6/solaris2.6
Apache 1.3.11
mod_perl 1.2.1

We've got a sitation where mod_perl intensive pages seem to severely knock
our idle time - which in it self probably isn't bad, however is it also
reflected by noticable latency on apache itself, together with a large
number of libhttpd.ep processes.  This isn't specific to any one chunk of
perl either.

I'd think this would be a shared library thing (although I wouldn't know
what?) - however we have a simlarly set up box which runs fine ; the only
exception being that it was set up with mod_perl 1.2401.  The second
server runs without ever displaying libhttpd.ep in its process
list.  So I'm kind of at a loss.  Is this a version thing?  Has anyone
experienced anything of this nature?  Thought I'd check before updating
versions.

Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks.
Rafiq
