None of my subroutines are prototyped. They all follow the format:

As Perrin/Randal said, thats a prototype of no arguments
While I'm on it
&foo
is different from
&foo()
The first gets access to the global @_ (aka whatever function foo was called
from, its @_ is handed to foo), the latter does not.
Finally, as long as your sub foo {} comes before the call to it (i.e scripts),
you generally don't write the sigil & -- i.e.
&foo(), but merely foo()
use Apache2::Reload;
You should generally move this to your httpd.conf file and configure it
PerlModule Apache2::Reload
PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload
PerlSetVar ReloadAll Off
PerlSetVar ReloadModules "confer::tester FOO::*"
You can use
PerlSetVar ReloadDebug On
to get a list in error_log of what files Apache2:Reload is stating to see if
they need to be reload. If you only care about one file, you should make this
list be 1 file via the ReloadModules directive. This will lessen the
performance impact as Johnathan pointed out.
use vars qw($q $r $dbh $template $sql);
just fyi, it takes more memory (bytes) to do this instead of our do to symbol
table mumbo jumbo.
Finally *sometimes* mod_perl doesn't like it when a function gets 'redefined'
Though I agree with
no warnings qw(redefine);
If you're developing actively, you might notice some strangeness especially if
you cause a syntax error and hope Apache2::Reload will reload correctly. Notice
above, I said SOMETIMES.
