We have discussed this many times before. The conclusion was to modify the
StatINC module to make its behavior configuration more flexible, rather
than just On|Off options. You are very welcome to modify this module and
add it the missing features so you can tell for example:
PerlSetEnv StatINCDomain /foo /bar
and only these directories will be watched after.
Before you start implementing this feature, please grab the latest copy
from the CVS or CVS snapshot http://perl.apache.org/from-cvs/modperl .
Thanks a lot for this invaluable contribution!
P.S. also take a look at somewhat different solution provided by Randal,
see his Stonehenge::Reload at
http://www.mail-archive.com/modperl@apache.org/msg03068.html
P.S.S - Ha, while looking for Randal's modules at CPAN (they aren't there!
Randal?) I've found Module::Reload module written by Doug and Joshua
Pritikin back in 1998, you might find it useful too!
