Apache::Asp caches subroutine compiles within processes.
Kill all running apache processes to delete their cache. (you don't
strictly have to restart to do this (killing workers and letting apache
restart them works too) but its easier)
It works when it hits one that loaded the module version that has the
method.
It doesn't work when it hits one that loaded the module version that doesn't
have the method.
I restart apache obsessively when modifying and testing modules for exactly
this reason.
You can also ameliorate this problem by lowering the number of requests a
process handles before restarting, at the expense of cache hits.
