Re: +Parent option

Hi Fred,

i am using +Parent on debian lenny mpm_prefork
and on ubuntu 10.04 mpm_prefork i have hade no issues with JSON::XS

i use '+Parent' to use different Modules Versions (new versions of my 
own modules) in a test environment (vhost) on the same server.

I have got some projects running with +Parent and JSON:XS in parallel, 
but never got this error.
Do you use the default apache and mod_perl packages, which version you 
are using?

But i have to acknowledge '+Parent' didn't work for me i some Situations.

a long time ago i tried to hold a database handle in a global package 
variable
#######
package MyPackage
my $dbh;
#######

i thought it would be fine to do this with +Parent, but mod_perl didn't 
separated it clearly, and things stared to become strange.
so i started to use something workarounds:
######
package MyPackage;
my $vhost_dbh = {};
sub handle{
     #...
     $vhost_key = $config->{'vhost_key'}
     my $dbh = $vhost_dbh->{$vhost_key}
     if (! defined $dbh ...
}
########

Maybe your are also relying on some globe variables in your code?

best regards keywan.
