ModPerl::Registry under Windows

Hello,

Does anyone know if ModPerl::Registry really runs the cgi scripts
persistently under Windows?

I have loaded a Catalyst application using the standard mod_perl way, (as a
PerlRequestHandler) and the httpd process was using 130 MB memory.
Then I have loaded it using ModPerl::PerlRun and ModPerl::Registry and with
any of them, the httpd process used only 12 MB of memory after loading the
application in the browser, exactly like when I load Apache without this
application at all.

Isn't ModPerl::Registry keeping the application persistent, or Catalyst's
cgi script does something that doesn't allow running it well with
ModPerl::Registry under Windows?

I use:
mod_perl 2.000004
Perl 5.10.0
Windows XP Pro

Thank you.

Octavian

This should work the same under Windows.

That seems like an extreme difference. It might be an idea to ask this
on the Catalyst mailing list, as someone there may be more familiar
with running Catalyst and mod_perl. I did notice that
http://search.cpan.org/~agrundma/Catalyst-Engine-Apache-1.07 /lib/Cataly=
st/Engine/Apache2/MP20.pm
recommends against running Catalyst applications under
ModPerl::Registry, but no reasons are given.
