Andre,
I've recently set up a test based very closely on your platform:
AP2.2.8
AP5.8.8 Build 822
MP2.0.3
You mention a VC 2005 build of httpd, which build of MP? 2005?
Not sure which uwinnipeg is built against, msvcrt or msvcr80.
I use VC++ 6 to build the mod_perl ppm packages in the
UWinnipeg repository, which is the same as ActivePerl.
But my recent observation is that if you use AS Perl, which is built
against msvcrt, it's likely best to use modperl built against msvcrt
as well. I'm doubting httpd's clib has a whole lot to do with it.
I've also seen crashes of Apache/2.2.8 with mod_perl
when Apache is started as a service, whereas it's fine
if started from the command line. I'll try the
suggestion in
http://marc.info/?l=apache-modperl&m=120234507226177&w=2
to see if it's the version of ActivePerl that's the problem.
However, I also noticed one thing - the mod_perl ppm
package was compiled against an earlier ActivePerl,
for binary compatibility with all ActivePerl versions
(in the 8xx series). If I use mod_perl compiled with
ActivePerl 822 against the 2.2.8 Apache sources, then
using it as a service is OK (at least, most of the time;
I still get very occasional crashes).
