Mod_perl and Virtual Hosts

Pushrod

I have a large mod_perl application which is basically a CMS with no backend. I am launching a new site with it, alongside my current site which is already using it.

I haven't tried it yet, but I assume that there will be problems if I configure both hosts to use the same handler, as the handlers are loaded into the Apache process itself.

Is there a way to have a per-host apache process to fully isloate them?
Or do I need to rewrite the application to determine which site it's handling and work with that?
Or am I wrong, a separate instance of the handler will be loaded, despite being the same name and process.
 
Afaik, you can put PerlHandler onto virtualhost block, but you cannot set startup script for virtualhosts - they work for server
 
My application uses a few environment variables, and it appears that there is crosstalk between virtual hosts, even with PerlOptions +Parent configured on both.

I am going to rewrite a few parts of the application and see if I can get two or more copies to coexist.
