IIS 6 - PerlEx - causing working process to recycle on "Script Returned No Data"

I am finding  that if the Perl interpreters die (returning
"Script 
Returned No Data" to the browser), the IIS 6 worker
process refuses to 
handle any more requests. However, the IIS ping every 30s
must think 
that the process is alive since it doesn't recycle until the
end of the 
configured recycle period.

Is there any way to cause the worker process to recycle when
the 
interpreters are dead?

I'm sure that I am catching all exceptions (e.g. sql query
timeouts) in 
my code in eval blocks. Does anyone know under what
circumstances Perl 
might die? This only happens under stress testing
situations.

I am using perl v5.8.8 build 822 [280952] from ActiveState
with PerlEx 
on IIS 6 on windows 2003 server.

Thanks in advance
Horace

If you are having the same problem I have (with PerlScript
in ASP) where
something similar happens, you can downgrade to build 638
(perl 5.6) to
correct the problem.
