I currently use Apache2::Reload on my development environments. However it's usefulness has been spotty particularly on win32 environments. Someone recently recommended Module::Refresh to me as an alternative.

FWIW, I have not had much luck with Apache2::Reload in my development environment (Linux, Apache2 Prefork MPM). Most of the time when I change something, it produces "Not a CODE reference" type errors.

I have had much better luck with Module::Refresh. I did it this way to only reload packages starting with MyApp::

in httpd.conf

PerlInitHandler MyApp::Apache2::Reload

the module looks like this:

package MyApp::Apache2::Reload;

use Module::Refresh;

my $cache = Module::Refresh->new;

sub handler : method {
    for my $mod (keys %INC) {
        next unless $mod =~ /^MyApp/;
        $cache->refresh_module_if_modified($mod);
    }
}

1;

__END__

This has worked perfectly for me.
