<div dir="ltr"><div>I switched from mod_perl to mod_fcgid and along with the memory usage decreasing by about 75%, the problem seems to have disappeared. I'm not sure if there is a problem with the code and mod_fcgid is just handling it better, or what the deal is, but everything is working fine now.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Judging by the user reviews of mod_perl (<a href="http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/mod_perl">http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/mod_perl</a>) it seems like mod_perl should be the less preferred option, and mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgid should be used if possible. Is this the general consensus? If so, it might be helpful to add that recommendation on <a href="http://bestpractical.com/docs/rt/latest/web_deployment.html">http://bestpractical.com/docs/rt/latest/web_deployment.html</a>.</div>
