[Persistentperl-users] Indefinite wait on first pass through?

[boss <bo...@sh...>]

Hello all

(I see the bandwidth on this list is pretty low ... 4 messages in a 
year, so i hope there's still people out there).

We've installed perperl on a Solaris box using Iplanet webserver
and are running into two critical issues.

#!/usr/bin/perperl -X -- -M1 -t604800 
is the options we're using.

1. The first time a web browser connects to the website running perperl,
the browser never pulls the site up.  You have to physically hit the
stop and reload buttons on the browser (doesn't matter what browser)
before the site comes up.  After that things are fine.  We can repeat
this process at will by touching the main perl program that runs.

2. If there is a compilation error in the code ... the perperl process
can't ever load a page again ... we either have to kill the backend
processes or touch the main perl program to force the backends to 
reload... which of course causes us the issue in point #1.

Does anyone have any insight into why this is happening?  We've
tried setting timeout to Zero and then to a large number to no avail.
We're doing database connections via DBI:Oracle in the code as 
well, if that is known to be problematic.

Thanks, todd
