 But, when I tweak the code of a module I have to do an apachectl
 graceful or something, very annoying.

perldoc Apache::StatINC and read the guide:

Re: HTML::Mason - declaration of subs outside out %ONCE sections?

 Is there any harm in defining subroutines inside regular %PERL sections?

You can do it if you want to, but it is a bad idea because
once Mason has worked its magic, your sub will end up inside
another sub. This is not usually a problem, but if you
reference a variable inside your subroutine that was defined
outside it, you'll get a "variable will not stay shared" error
message. See the mod_perl guide for more information on this
issue.

If you understand the problem, you can work around it (by using
a closure or by passing and returning values properly), but it's
better to avoid the problem altogether and define your subs in the 
%once section. Better still, consider making your subroutine
a separate component or subcomponent.

By the way, there is a dedicated mailing list for Mason at:
