1st recommendation - upgrade your Apache and mod_perl versions, both are a couple years out of date. 2nd recommendation - search the mailing list archives, I recall something similar to this that Tim Bunce had encountered while working on NYTProf. > > Apache version: Apache/2.2.3 > mod_perl: 2.0 (Apache2::RequestRec::VERSION - 2.000004) > interpretter: (64bit 5.8.8) > Devel::NYTProf: 4.06
