Apache::Reload not working??

jbrugger has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all.
Not sure if this really IS a perl question to ask here, but i'll try:

I was running 'debian sarge', using apache, modperl and the module Apache::Reload, and all was working fine.
I needed some modules from a newer version however (FOP and Xalan), to be able to generate nice pdf-files, so i did a dist-upgrade to the next version (dependencies etc.), and now i'm running: Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) mod_perl/2.0.1 Perl/v5.8.7

The thing however (it's a development machine), is that i no longer am able to use Apache::Reload. When i load it, apache2 starts, but at the time of a request from a browser i get a server error (But nothing in the log-files).
I tried the modules Reload v.07 and v.09, both no luck.
Now i've read that there is a renaming issue when upgrading from 1.99 to 2.01, e.g. PerlModule Apache2 is no longer needed, but i'd like to run ModPerl::Registry in stead of ModPerl::PerlRun, so i'd love to have Reload working again.
Is there anyone who has a clue what might be the issue here (and tell me how to solve it?)
$Thanks->{'again'};

Perhaps try Apache2::Reload, which is part of mod_perl2.	[reply]

I've had Apache2::Reload working (you did use Apache2::Reload didn't you?). My setup looked like this: `LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so <Perl> #!/usr/bin/perl use lib '/path/to/my/source/checkout/lib'; # various use statements... </Perl> PerlModule Apache2::Reload PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload PerlSetVar ReloadModules "Base::* OtherBase::*"` [download] Phil	[reply] [d/l]

I wasn't able to get Apache::Reload to work on either my 1.xx or 2.xx version of apache on Debian. Everything loaded but they would never reload the modules. I stooped to setting max_requests_per_child to 1 in the apache configuration for my dev box. :(	[reply]

Ok, thanks all for your replies. Indeed the solution was simple, i had to use Apache2::Reload in stead of Apache::Reload... I think it has to do that my former mod_perl was 1.99xxx and this is 2.01, since the former version allways worked on my apache2 server. Anyway, problem solved!
