OK, we've lost my original question here, but what I was saying was
this:
I have a script that is in Apache::Registry. (It's showing up in
"Compiled Registry Scripts" in perl-status).
The global variables are *not* getting set on recompilation. Are you
saying they should?

Stas, what are you talking about? Your own guide says:
"BEGIN blocks in Apache::Registry scripts will be executed, as above
plus:
...
An additional time, once per child process, each time the script file
changes on disk. "
I.e., at compilation. And that is what I'm seeing, and it's the
behavior I want.
I think you are confused about what I am saying. Probably working too
much on the template guide... :-)
