Perl sits pretty close to the OS and it's C libraries.  I think
the messiness you see does not originate in perl... If mod_perl
works with apache on a system, other embedded perl programs
should as well, but they probably need the same approach as
apache to have a parent restart children that exit on their
own after a certain number of runs so you don't have to be
too careful about leaking memory and the entire child has
to die at once instead of unloading the perl portion.
