Michiel:
When running with ActiveState under IIS, have you ever experienced time zone "drift"?
I'm continuing to have incidents where PerlEx will lose track of the time zone (see the log snippet below for evidence). Note how the time shifts back then forth:
[Tue Sep 28 10:49:19 2010][Notice][Kernel::System::AuthSession::DB::RemoveSessionID] Removed SessionID 100aa750a028fb004d26421b88bcd5af3f.
[Tue Sep 28 10:49:19 2010][Notice][Kernel::System::AuthSession::DB::RemoveSessionID] Removed SessionID 10b75be74d3e8d4133dbe07f78c4957655.
. . .
[Tue Sep 28 08:02:58 2010][Notice][Kernel::System::User::GetUserData]
. . .
[Tue Sep 28 13:58:38 2010][Notice][Kernel::System::AuthSession::DB::CheckSessionID] SessionID: '10f656307616f5b470ff3985a0c6652b56' is invalid!!!
I have been discussing the issue with ActiveState but am not getting much helpful advice (with respect to actually solving the problem, but lots of useful C runtime trivia).

My next step is to go down to a single processor server. I had already tried pegging the worker process to single CPU. Apparently something is changing the effective timezone.

Hi Hugh,
We actually use ActiveState PerlEx when deploying on IIS because
there's no good accelerator for IIS that comes with StrawberryPerl.
You can deploy StrawberryPerl in CGI mode but that's pretty slow.
We do have unit tests for time bundled in OTRS, and I would be
interested to see how they would then work for you on your deployment.
You can run them so:
perl bin/UnitTest.pl -n Time
BTW you probably first need to update scripts/test/Time.t to this
version: http://source.otrs.org/viewvc.cgi/otrs/scripts/test/Time.t?view=log&pathrev=rel-3_0_0-b1
older versions assume your test system timezone is set to CET, but
actually, not every OTRS user lives in Germany...
