Known Problems

http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpPerlModule#Known_Problems

• If a Perl module performs protracted operation, (for example DNS lookups, database queries, etc), then the worker process that is running the Perl script is completely tied up for the duration of script. Therefore embedded Perl scripts should be extremely careful to limit themselves to short, predictable operations.
• It's possible for Nginx to leak memory if you reload the configuration file (via 'kill -HUP ').
