No need to apologize.  I just wanted to clarify for any who joined
in the thread late.

The application in question has no startup.pl file.  It is a Mason
based web application and starts with an index.html file that has
embedded Perl code.  I have only been working with this application
for a few months, and due to its large size (92 MB deployed), I have
yet to understand all aspects of it.  Not only am I new to mod_perl2,
I am also new to Mason, sigh...   :-(

I was advised (by you?) to try mod_perl2 (2.0.6) just to see if 2.0.5
was at fault.  I did and it wasn't.  I am leaning toward some Perl 5.14
issue that exists within this large Perl web application.  I have asked
the developers there to try running their application under Perl 5.14
and have yet to hear any feedback on that suggestion.  YMMV.

BTW, several other Perl based web applications I have written are built
on CGI::Application and do have what you call a startup.pl file although
those (short) files are rarely, if ever, called "startup.pl".  Maybe I
need to read more about the mod_perl2 experience.  :-)

Regards,

web...
