This little problem has been bugging me for a bit and I wondered if anyone could explain the behaviour of Apache::StatINC to me?

The situation is as follows: I have a page which calls a function in a module (say module1). So far so good. This module then calls a function in another module(say module2). Great: everything displays as it should. If I make a change to module2 and reload the client page (did I say this was running under Apache/mod_perl?) the original output is displayed. If I then make a change (or just touch) module1, the changes to module2 appear.

An extract of the error.log:

test v1! at /my/module2.pm line 790
Apache::StatINC: process 1440 reloading module2.pm
test v1! at /my/module2.pm line 790
Apache::StatINC: process 1440 reloading module1.pm
test v2! at /my/module2.pm line 790
