It just hit me.... That is why Apache::StatINC isn't working. We use Apache::StatINC on our development server, but we never preload any modules... We just use <Location /whatever> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler My::Special::Module </Location> and Apache::StatINC works. If you preload, It's not going to put the module into %INC. Otherwise Apache::StatINC would intentionally overwrite that shared memory and destroy the purpose for using PerlModule in the first place. I could be wrong... but I think that the answer is that "It's not a bug, it's a feature", and that the behavior is actually correct.
