Re: PERL Question

Well it turns out that I had a mod_perl, modules and @INC drama
happening. After some research, I have managed to fix my problem like
this:

1) Set:

PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /path to my own modules
PerlInitHandler Apache::StatINC;

This causes mod_perl to stat my module before it is used. Its initial
behaviour is to load modules just once and then leave them alone until a
server restart. Apache::StatINCD looks at all files in @INC and stats
them to see if they've changed, and if so causes mod_perl to reload
them.

The reason I needed to set the env. variable is that Apache::StatINC
only looks in the default @INC and only once at server startup, so if
you have modules which aren't in the default @INC you have to make sure
their @INC entry is there at server startup.
