Hi Kee,
thanks for sharing this. I most cases you can use Apache::Reload. This
modules checks on every request which Perl modules have changed and only
reload the changed ones. You could also tell it, at which modules it should
look. This works not in all cases like your solution (e.g. it doesn't work
when you use pseudo hashs), but normaly it's a great tool.
