It's needed, for example, to enable the system-wide PATH to include
\Perl\bin in it, which is needed to load mod_perl.so into the server when
running as a system service. Note that you can still go to a command shell,
add perl\bin to the path and manually start apache from the command shell -
that will work.

That's a good point ... I'm not sure why that would be needed
in this case (maybe something to do with using it as a service),
but in any case, on Win32, it's not unusual to recommend a
reboot. I'll add that to the docs - thanks.
