Hello,
What you're doing is not recommended as you run into namespace issues.
Perl caches files and modules that were loaded in %INC, so if you have
files and modules with the same name, only one of them gets loaded.
Possibly, as an exercise, if you switch the order of the ORIG and COPY
lines in your startup.pl, you'll see the changes you've made in ORIG and
not the changes in COPY.
I've made the assumption here that your site is more than just the one
base.pm file and both base.pm packages use other packages with the same
names.
Suppose your
ORIG::mods::base.pm has "use mods::somepackage"
and
COPY::mods::base.pm has "use mods::somepackage",
with the startup.pl file, Perl will load only the
.../perl/COPY/mods/somepackage.pm file.
If however your site is just the base.pm file, and the package
declaration is as you've written, my answer is off.
Good luck.

Hello List,
I have been running a ModPerl site fine with following configuration.
The problem started when I made a complete copy of the original site and
tried to run the two in the same environment. For some reason, calling
up the ORIG site (http://127.0.0.1/ORIG/) now calls the COPY site at
http://127.0.0.1/COPY/. None of the changes made in ORIG::MODS::base.pm
are getting picked up even after restarting the apache server. However,
changes to COPY::MODS::base.pm are showing up fine.
Would appreciate any help. Here is what I have in the config:
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
---------------------------
PerlRequire /var/www/perl/startup.pl
<Location /ORIG>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ORIG::MODS::base
</Location>
<Location /COPY>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler COPY::MODS::base
</Location>
/var/www/perl/startup.pl:
-------------------------
use lib qw(/var/www/perl);
use lib qw(/var/www/perl/ORIG);
use lib qw(/var/www/perl/COPY);
1;
Apache/2.2.14 (Mandriva Linux/PREFORK-1mdv2010.0)
apache-mod_perl-2.0.4-11mdv2010.0
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
Thanks,
Nishi
