Hi!

The simplest solution is to let Apache handle it: There is a configuration parameter MaxRequestsPerChild. On default installations it's set relativly high. Tweak it for you mod_perl centric processes.

Look at http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Measuring_the_Memory_of_the_Process for some hints on memory usage.

Look for documentation of $r->child_terminate. With that method you can force the Apache child to exit gracefully at the end of the whole request lifetime. Combined with a process global counter you could implement an own controlled way of exiting after an certain count of requests. With this way you could be sure that a certain amount of perl handled requests were served (using Apache for static and dynamic content).

Best regards
McA

P.S.: mod_perl mailing list is the right target for these questions. Thorsten Förtsch regularly answer fast and very competent. (http://foertsch.name/)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
