I've written my own library 'package', for a site i'm building. i bring it in with a 'use', and do libname::func_name() for the functions. i have no interest in doing OO with this. what i want, however, is to have the parent apache process load this package, offloading it from the children.

can i just do a require in /usr/include/apache/modules/perl/startup.perl ?? what about the fact that it's in the same dir as the scripts themselves, which currently allows me to do the 'use', and not in @INC? also, i plan on using Apache::Reload in the future, with the touch file mechanism. so i want to make sure that whatever changes i make now, will be good for Apache::Reload.

ps. i'm totally happy with the current 'use' and libname::func_name(), and have no interest in changing that.
