in reply to Forcing a PERL script to reload libraries

Poke through %INC, which is Perl's memory of what's already been required. It'll be obvious what you need to delete from there before calling require again.

    Yay!! A simple 
    
$SIG{HUP}=sub {
    delete $INC{"MyRoutines.pl"};
    require "MyRoutines.pl";
}
    did the trick! Thank you! I didn't realize you could just modify that hash.

    Btw, I'm the same poster as the original question, I just decided to create an account :)
