Surely you don't want to reset everything, as that would also reset things like @INC, making your program a little brain-dead. I mean, that's one of the reasons that perldoc -f reset includes the paragraph:

            Resetting "A-Z" is not recommended because you'll wipe out
+ your
            @ARGV and @INC arrays and your %ENV hash. Resets only pack
+age
            variables--lexical variables are unaffected, but they clea
+n
            themselves up on scope exit anyway, so you'll probably wan
+t to
            use them instead. See "my".

The proper way to go about this is to use proper objects in your program, so that you can have a top level object that is associated with a particular session, and everything else hangs off of that. Then, to reset the session, just generate a new session object.

So just reload the modules.
