Re: PerlRun Memory leak upgrading from 1.99_14 to 2.0.0-RC1

OK. Why do you use MP_AP_PREFIX and not MP_APXS? The docs suggest to use 
the latter:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html#Installation
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Dynamic_mod_perl

I guess you're reading this?

----------------------
If however all Apache 2.0 files were installed under the same directory, 
mod_perl 2.0's build only needs to know the path to that directory, passed 
via the MP_AP_PREFIX option:

   % perl Makefile.PL MP_INST_APACHE2=1 MP_AP_PREFIX=$HOME/httpd/prefork
-----------------------

right?

/usr/local/apache-2.0.52/ is the Apache source, correct? Not the binaries.

I have an idea of what could be the cause of the leak:

=item 1.99_17 - October 22, 2004
[...]
Added ModPerl::Util::unload_package() to remove a loaded package
as thoroughly as possible by clearing it's stash. [Gozer]

but I could be wrong. Please post a sample script that we can reproduce 
the problem with and we will look at it. Ideally it should be a bug
reporting tarball, based on bug-reporting-skeleton-mp2.tar.gz from:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#Problem_Description
