Does that work under Unix only? I am on NT and it does not appear to work.
Can someone clarify.
Thanks
Scott

Your problem probably comes from the fact that @INC is reset to its
original value after its get temporary modified in your scripts. Of course
when Apache::Reload tries to find the file to test for its mod time, it
cannot find it.
The solution is to extend @INC at the server startup to include
directories you load the files from which aren't in @INC.
For example, if you have a script which loads MyTest.pm from
/home/stas/myproject:
use lib qw(/home/stas/myproject);
require MyTest;
Apache::Reload won't find this file, unless you alter @INC in startup.pl:
startup.pl
----------
use lib qw(/home/stas/myproject);
and restart the server
I'll add these notes to the guide. Matt probably wants to add these to the
Apache::Reload docs as well :)
