It's remarkable that I can package Vanilla Perl given how little clue
I tend to have about internals/compilers/C.  :-)

I assume you've seen "perldoc perlfork" -- the other think I could
suggest is maybe using a CLONE() method that could coordinate better
with APR's memory management.  But now I'm over my head again.

That's all I can suggest,
