Greetings Monks,

I am having a problem with Apache::Reload, which is really more of an annoyance, but nonetheless:

I've written a couple of classes to encapsulate some configuration and path information, they inherit from a class that's declared roughly like this: 

use base qw(Class::Accessor Class::Fields);
use fields qw(id dir_base url_base dir_tmp conf);
__PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(__PACKAGE__->show_fields('Public'));

The inheriting class would be along the lines of: 

use base qw(My::Abstract::Class);
use fields qw(dir blast_input blast_output t_result_thumb t_result_ima
+ge t_region_thumb t_mview t_mview_thumb t_parsed_result);
use fields qw(temp_out temp_in);
use fields qw(url blast_output_url t_result_thumb_url t_result_image_u
+rl t_region_thumb_url t_mview_thumb_url);
__PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(__PACKAGE__->show_fields('Public'));

The actual problem is similar to the old "function redefined" warnings when running under Apache::Reload - it occurs when the module changes (ie A::R has to recompile it), and doesn't appear in production when running without A::R.

The difference is that rather than a simple warning I get 

Field name 'temp_out' already in use at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/fields.pm
+ line 34
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at My::Config::Thing line 14.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache
+/Reload.pm line 132.

So, two questions:
1. This goes away without Reload.pm, so I am guessing it's not really a problem? But it is annoying because I am back to restarting apache after every change - is there a way to get around this?
2. Why 'temp_out'? I would expect it to choke on the first field that's declared. Any ideas?
