habit_forming has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hey you Monks!
I have mod_perl program called in the usual way (a.k.a) a PerlHandler MyModule statement in httpd.conf... but that works just fine and thus is not my question. I understand that when MyModule loads other modules via require's based on a user's needs those modules get cached. That is all fine and good (very fast too). However, sometimes the modules that MyModule require's change. The people that change the underlying modules do not have access to kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`.
So here is my quandary... How can I check to see if the file that implements a .pm I already have cached has changed and tell Apache "Hey! Go to disk and grab this .pm! Don't use your cache."
Thanks,
--habit
