Try the mod_status "server-status" handler.
 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_status.html

Also since you know the PID of the child with high load, you can use 
ltrace or strace to see what with library or system calls.

Or you can use lsof to see the network connection for that PID.

I wonder why it had "perl5.8.4" after that httpd...
