Attempt to reload module.pm aborted.Compilation failed

I have a Perl script that is executing with mod_perl and works as an HTTP server. myServer.pl uses a module.pm. Everything looks fine when I use it with one user. but when I put it under pressure of hundreds of users it gives me this weird error.

[error] Attempt to reload MyModule.pm aborted.\nCompilation failed in require at /var/www/mod_perl/myServer.pl line 36.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /var/www/mod_perl/myServer.pl line 36.

Here is a sample of the beginning of my code for myServer.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;
#other use
use lib "/var/www/lib/receipt/pos";
use lib "/var/www/lib/common";
use MyModule;

my $q   = new CGI;
my $myM = new MyModule(requestParams=>$q);
if($myM){
  my $requestId = $myM->requestId;
  #do sth
}else{
    #do sth
}

#other codes

Edit

Here is a code for MyModule.pm

This not all of it because I can't post it all. so I have edited it:

package MyModule;

use CGI;
use DBI;

        log4perl.appender.myLoggerPLogfile.filename  = /var/www/logs/myLoggerP.Log
        log4perl.appender.myLoggerPLogfile.layout = \

        log4perl.appender.myLoggerPLogfile.layout.ConversionPattern = (%d) %L> %m %n
);
Log::Log4perl->init_once(\$Log4PerlConf_myLoggerP);
my $loggermyLoggerP = get_logger("myLoggerP");

This may have syntax errors, but it doesn't in my real code (this is a sample code I've edited the names and some other codes). It works except when hundreds of users send request at the same time it crashes.

My problem has been solved. The Log::Log4perl module was causing this error. It was used in MyModule.pm. I have used it before (in other projects) without problems. but this time it seemed like it couldn't create a log file in the directory specified, although it didn't give me any errors in /var/log/httpd/error_log related to Log::Log4perl! sooooo annoying. I tried everything. and when I deleted Log::Log4perl from my project it worked without problem even under pressure of thousands of users.

For those who have the same issue: you have to look into your code and see if there are any other modules used in your code (this might be modules inside modules) that is not working properly.
