Ooops, gotta go to sleep. Your suggestion, Mark, will work :) but only in
Registry/PerlRun which executes BEGIN on every request.
Sorry about my previous post :(
But if you delete and reload the file on every request it defeats the
purpose of using mod_perl to some degree, depending on how many files you
force to reload and how big they are.
BTW, here is shorter version of your suggestion:
BEGIN { do '/foo/bar/query.pl'; }
