Been away from my computer for several days :(
Doesn't look like anyone is going to answer this.
Maybe you missed some of the emails that Clinton
Gormley and I were exchanging a while back. I've
been using 'sudo apachectl graceful' on apache
2.2.11 and 2.2.13 with mod_perl 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 SVN
for many months now and have not noticed any problems.
Of course you might be using some feature or module
or ??? that my site doesn't, which would cause some
problems. Fancy SSL use and changing certificates
were mentioned as possibilities.
If you look thru the change logs for the various apache
versions you can see quite a few improvements for
graceful and other restarts (there was one in 2.2.12).
So why not give them a chance, and if you have problems
come back here and tell us? Or look into them a little
and come back and tell us even more? And if graceful
restart works OK for you, please send an email to say
that.
The elimination of superstition is an absolute good.

Ok, one more question. Disregarding graceful for the moment - is HUP
completely reliable with mod_perl at this point, or is there
still a reason
(as there once supposedly was) to do a full server stop and start?
The problem, at least in the 1.x series, was that the parent process
and the perl interpreter never restart. It just re-reads the config
file and runs through startup again.
Right. Ok, in a *relatively modern Apache/mod_perl 2.x*, is there
still a reason to do a full server stop and start?
Thanks
