  1. Re:mod_perl DSO unstable? by jbrownc1 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps the assumption is false, but there is a lot of anecdotal evidence out there that suggests otherwise. I have seen reports of issues with OS X and mod_perl as a DSO in the documentation for RT:Request Tracker, for one, where they recommend compiling mod_perl statically. I've seen it in a few other places as well. Now, I don't know for sure if it's true or not, but I usually leave it up to folks with more time and sense of adventure to figure out, since I just need the stuff to work right.
