Hi, monks

I am using HTML::Mason + mod_perl + Apache2 under RHEL5, an YAML file is used for Marketing to maintain a complex data structure: a tree of questionnairs (HOH). The problem is that each time I update this YAML file, the change does not shown on live until I restart the Apache server. I tried:

• cleaning up client-side browser-cache which is not working
• seting up Apache2::Reload which is not working for YAML file
• deleting the cached HTML::Mason obj file does not work either
• no other Cache related code or HTTP configuration is setup on this YAML file

the YAML file is loaded with YAML::Syck:

 my $TREE = LoadFile('/path/to/tree.yml');
[download]

The problem sounds to be from the server side. Is there any method in the mod_perl enviromental that I can Reload the YAML file without restarting Apache? i.e. something like Apache2:Reload ReloadTouchFile on Perl files.

thanks

lihao

Update: Never mind, after more testings, I found putting the YAML::Syck::LoadFile line into <%init> tag instead of <%once> tag solved my problem. this turns out to be just a problem on how to use HTML::Mason properly. thanks again.
