Thank you, Jonathan, for your more detailed explanation. I have to say, I am
extremely disappointed with my experience. I've used PHP for some years to
create interactive web sites with some success, but having read about the
significant performance boost available from mod_perl, I bit the bullet, and
used PERL for the first time on my current project. Had I known then what I
know now, I wouldn't have bothered :-( 

I don't even like the language much, but I'm sure that's a personal thing.

It looks then like I have two options:
1. abandon mod-perl and just use cgi. 
2. move the project to a server over which I have full control.

(1) rather defeats the object of using PERL, and I am loth to acknowledge
defeat; (2) adds significant expense, and extra effort, to the project. Bah
- what a mess!

Thanks again, Tony
