That hasn't been my experience. I always need to restart the server. One of the challenges with that is that objects can persist in memory between requests because the perl runtime persists between requests. If the "script" changes, how do you apply those changes to objects instances which already exist in memory? It is not a simple problem and it exists in other languages(java) as well. Entire companies(ZeroTurnaround) have been built around solving this kind of problem. The only reason that you can make changes in a language like php without a server restart is because php objects cannot persist between requests like they can in perl or Java and that approach has its own disadvantages.
