I was thinking it terms of the Apache config file that can be used to
pre-load modules.
The way PerlFreshRestart is implemented now seems like a hack that is
always bound to cause some problems. It's not much of a "Fresh Restart",
more like a "Stale Overwrite With Your Eyes Shut".

The idea was to avoid run-time overhead by setting things up a
compile time.
I guess I could add something like this:
DBI->default_connect_method("Apache::DBI::connect");
which Apache::DBI could call, after a "use DBI;", to get itself
plugged in.
