Apache::Reload doesn't watch scripts but only modules that declare package 
names. ModPerl::Registry watches only the scripts it invokes (but not any 
files required by those scripts). Nothing watches .pl lib files.

So if you want to have your code reloaded, make sure they are modules and 
declare the packages.

[mp2] modperl not reloading files when changed

[Carl Brewer]

Hello,
I've got a couple of files, a script and a library, and
I'm not sure of what I'm doing wrong in terms of telling
modperl to watch them for changes.
I have the following in httpd.conf :
for my virtual host :
PerlModule Apache2
PerlRequire "/home/benfab/lib/startup.pl"
PerlModule Apache::Reload
PerlModule Apache::Request
PerlModule Apache::Cookie
PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload
# PerlSetVar ReloadAll Off
  
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
#SetHandler perl-script
SetHandler modperl
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
PerlOptions +GlobalRequest
Options +ExecCGI
  
startup.pl has :
# http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html
use Apache2 ();
  use lib qw(/home/benfab/lib);
  use ModPerl::Util (); #for CORE::GLOBAL::exit
  use Apache::RequestRec ();
  use Apache::RequestIO ();
  use Apache::RequestUtil ();
  use Apache::ServerRec ();
  use Apache::ServerUtil ();
  use Apache::Connection ();
  use Apache::Log ();
  use APR::Table ();
  use APR::Pool ();
  use ModPerl::Registry ();
  use Apache::Const -compile => ':common';
  use APR::Const -compile => ':common';
1;
Do I need to put something in my script and library
to tell Apache/mod_perl to watch them?
This is in my library :
# tell Apache we're volatile, watch for changes ...
use Apache::Reload;
Does that also need to be in my calling script for it to
be noticed?
thanks!
Carl
