Re: Howto develop with modperl 2 ? (Restart Apache all the time ?)

["Lionel MARTIN" <suppressed>]

Hi,

You can put that in your Apache conf file:

PerlModule Apache2::Reload
PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload

This way, every time you alter one of your Apache modules, it gets reloaded.

This incurs a small performance hit (the server has to fstat the related 
files every time a request is run, to know if any module has been updated on 
disk), but that's definitely a good choice when developing (no need to 
restart your server)

Lionel.
