The *only* issue I encounter in FreeBSD is a massive (~40Mb) memory
leak when doing a restart (SIGUSR1 or SIGHUP) of Apache. The
workaround is not do do that ;-) Seriously, just stop/start apache
instead and you're golden. The mod_perl DSO runs perfectly fine and
pretty darned fast. If it weren't I'd be in there hacking it up so
that it did work fine, and use my mod_perl commit priveleges to make
it distributed that way.
Of course, you still need to follow the suggestions in the most
excellently written (if I do say so myself...) mod_perl_tuning doc
that comes with it. My favorite way these days it to use mod_proxy
and mod_rewrite to selectively send requests back to the mod_perl
backend. For RT, you just send everything (no need for mod_rewrite)
and it works.
