The only issues I still have with mod_perl being DSO is a major memory
leak on apache restart (graceful or regular -- makes no difference).
This is with perl 5.005_03.  With perl 5.6.1, there should be no
memory leak with the latest mod_perl as a DSO.

Building apache+mod_ssl then mod_perl as a DSO works great for us on
FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE.
