That's almost the same problem for me...
A sample : if I call in a script a MARC::Record.pm function with wrong
or invalid parameters, the pm is supposed to return a warning, and die.
With apache 2.0, it seems to be running and running until httpd timeout.
Then, the log is filled with hundreds of warnings (the one reported by
.pm, repeated).
It seems that the process forks, and forks, and forks forever, until
apache stops it.

I tried to ask on some mailing lists, but could not get any answer.
Feel free to dig yourself an report any success in your search.
