Quick reference

Apache::Registry / Perl config files

  • Apache::Reload causes more problems than it fixes
  • Apache::StatINC only works on the @INC path which is set by Apache before scripts are run
  • Apache::Registry - just don't bother
  • Don't use Apache's PerlFreshRestart On, it will break things
  • If parsing Perl syntax config files from Apache, remember it takes a few seconds for Perl to 'let go' after making changes.
