I have been trying to take care of the problem Apache::Reload is having with clearing certain types of subroutines. This problem also exist in at least 2 other places, namely ModPerl::PerlRun and <Perl> sections, that both also need to be able to destroy a namespace (a module, really).
It occured to me that there was an alternative approach to trying to manually delete each entry in a package's namespace. If you want to destroy a loaded module, say Foo::Bar::Baz, you can try to iterate over it's stash and destroy all that's in there, our currrent approach.
Or you can (simply put) "delete $Foo::Bar::{'Baz::'};". Deleting the entire stash
from that package. This is has many advantages. 1. If other modules are holding
references to internal constructs of that package, thru reference couting, they
will still hold _valid_ references to whatever they are currently pointing, a good
thing. 2. General cleanup will happen in that module, so package globals with
DESTROY methods will be called, etc.All together, it's a pretty clean approach, with the only downside that 'unloading' a module that way might not entirely flush the memory it's using (if things are kept alive thru references).
I've attached a patch that does this. It adds a ModPerl::Util::clear_namespace() and it's used in the 3 places that I could see need it, PerlSections, ModPerl::PerlRun and Apache::Reload.
Thoughts ?
P.S. Documentation patch not yet complete, I am working on it too. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philippe M.
