I just reread your original post... I think I may know what the problem is (maybe). Are you using <Location> handlers? <Location /whatever> SetHandler perl-script PerlModule My::Special::Module PerlHandler My::Special::Module </Location> If that is the case, My::Special::Module won't be loaded and compiled until the very first time that someone hits /whatever. This explains the missing modules in %INC (I think), but it does not explain the problem with Apache::StatINC. > >Out of curiosity, I took our configuration file and changed all >the 'PerlModule' directives to 'use' calls (inside a <Perl> block), >and lo and behold, they all appeared in %INC. >> > And did this fix your problem with Apache::StatINC too?
