Overall great advice in this thread, but I wanted to point out
that with Apache2::Reload this isn't strictly the case. You can
set it to reload certain modules or all without a server restart,
however I personally wouldn't use it in production as there is very
little benefit.
Apache::Reload doesn't always work too. two scenarios
a_ if you have stuff that happens in a BEGIN block, or stuff that
references something in a begin block (example: module a: has a begin
block that pulls config info from a DB. module b: on startup (after
begin) parses that config info into a specific datastructure --
apache:restart won't help you if you have to modify a or b. )
b_ In the past , if you needed to make 20 changes to a file on your
dev box to trace soemthing down, after 10 or so changes you could see
a bunch of namespace issues come up. I *think* thats fixed now
though. but it might not be.
