you might want to search the mod_perl mailinglist archives. As far as I remember, occasionally, similar "PHP+Perl" issues popped up there... (I'm personally not using PHP, so I can't tell you any details) You'll find a list of links to the archives at http://perl.apache.org/#maillists (very good mailinglist, btw) At the same site (perl.apache.org) and at take23.org you'll also find lots of other interesting mod_perl/Apache related stuff... > > If I must dynamically load mod_perl or PHP, which offers the best > performance improvement when statically linked?
