This isn't going to work if your modules store anything in package globals. You should probably empty the package stash before you load the new module. That'll also save you "subroutine redefined" warnings too, I think. > One obvious answer is to move the devel tree off of the same server as > the release tree.

I've sometimes been able to get away with running the live version through Apache::Registry while developing small changes under mod_cgi. Then when the .cgi version is ready I just copy it into the .pl and restart. However, a full staging server is definitely preferable. -sam
