Hello, my debugger is working fine now under mod_perl, I can exit from
debugger just
 like normal 'q' command. But then the apache is still in debugging
 mode and single process. So I have to press CTRL+Z to get out to the
 normal shell prompt. But whenever I do that my apache would longer to
 start again. I didn't see any text being logged in the log file.

 How can I have a proper exit from the debugger as well as the apache
 to start a normal server ? Thanks

I have not tried out yet, but that might help. Thank you very much.

  Hi William, 

  You should be able to hit Ctrl+C which will cause the Apache child
  to exit and then you can restart it without debugging and not in
  single process mode. 

  Hope that helps.
