Is there some way to prevent this happening? I assume this occurs accross other containers (such as VirtualHost)?

    It does happen across other containers too yes. I assume you cannot prevent this because it's what mod_perl does: load the thing into memory to be ready when someone makes a request.

    (I'm taking Jaap's answer at face value. I don't remember much about mod_perl.)

    What are you trying to accomplish? There might be other ways of accomplishing what you want to accomplish. One thing you could do is to have a barebones handler that loads up the full module and calls it:

    sub handler {
   require Full::Module;
   goto(&Full::Module::handler);
}

    (You might have to fool with the args in @_ a little. I don't remember what args a handler receives.)

    Of course, once the module is loaded, it will stay loaded.
