apache mod_perl aborted a process within a eval block without completing it

["Ronald Dai." <suppressed>]

mod_perl version: 1.27

perl version: 5.6.1

apache version: 1.3.26

 

Question:

We got some 500 server error because an '   eval{...} or die "suppressed"   ' block failed.

 

Normally when the eval block failed, the process will die with $@ message logged because of the die statement after the eval block. However, sometimes the process dies without logging the $@ message, which means that the process gets aborted within the eval block.

 

Could someone help me to explain under what circumstances, the mod_perl or apache would abort a process within an eval block without letting the code complete the block?

 

Thanks

Ron
