mod_perl with apache

I think this is more of a application question than a scripting question.

On a solaris 8 server with Apache 2.6 and perl 5.8.8, we have an html/javascript file that uses HTTP Post to a perl script. The perl script sends data back via HTTP get to a redirected HTML file. The HTML file strips off data from the command line of the URL (suff after the "?") and then posts more data to the perl script until all of the data it needs is retreived. This works fine in perl without mod-perl enabled, but loops in modperl, as if the initial connection for the first request is still open and the same data is being endlessly sent back. This happens on later versions of Solaris as well.

We did find that after what seems like many interations of the looping, the data finally get processed and the subsequent screen appears, but that is after a minute at least. When not using mod_perl, this doesn't happen. The developer wanted to put in a "wait" type command to see if that worked, but it did not make a difference.

Has anyone seen this type of behavior?

Thank you very much

Apache::TestHandler(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Apache::TestHandler(3pm) NAME
Apache::TestHandler - a few response handlers and helpers SYNOPSIS
package My::Test; use Apache::TestHandler (); sub handler { my ($r) = @_; my $result = do_my_test; Apache::TestHandler::ok1 $r, $result; } sub handler2 { my ($r) = @_; my $result = do_my_test; Apache::TestHandler::ok $r, $result; } DESCRIPTION
"Apache::TestHandler" provides 2 very simple response handler. FUNCTIONS
ok $r, $boolean The handler simply prints out "ok" or "not ok" depending on the optional $boolean parameter. If $boolean is omitted "true" is assumed. ok1 $r, $boolean This handler implements a simple response-only test. It can be used on its own to check if for a certain URI the response phase is reached. Or it can be called like a normal function to print out the test result. The client side is automatically created as described in <http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html#Developing_Response_only_Part_of_a_Test>. $boolean is optional. If omitted "true" is assumed. same_interp_counter same_interp_fixup TODO SEE ALSO
