Hi Perrin/Ged, Thanx for the reply (I hardly get replies for subjects with restart :-( I guess I'm the only one using PerlFreshRestart (sic !).
My requirement is to do a neat kill of children and then do a complete restart. I don't want any existing connections to be terminated abruptly. Also I want a complete restart (ie. any modified files should be loaded - using Apache::Reload/StatINC does a lot of stat()'s & further each children would get a separate copy). Restart was working perfectly until mod_perl-1.19. After that a lot has changed. Now I have fixed a lot in mod_perl to get Restart fully working.
