What we found is that sometimes the problem would occur with httpd processes that had served nothing other than this page and static content (gifs, js files etc.) .
Okay, and did you try repeating that sequence of requests to see if it triggers your problem?
In other cases the httpd process had served cgi scripts and our other mod_perl page, but I don't think the other mod_perl page or the forked cgi's are relevant given that there are instances where only static content has been served. Is that a fair conclusion to make?
Not really. You seem to have already decided that the problem has something to do with mod_perl, but there's really no evidence for that at this point. It's a complete mystery. It could be due to a problem with your apache compile, or an auth module you use on certain static pages, or a bug in a system library that apache is compiled against, etc. It's definitely worth trying to repeat the sequence of hits that led to the problem on a single process apache, even if the hits were all static files. - Perrin
