Re^2: Mason subroutine not relefecting changes

Thanks for your response. However, this subroutine is part of a shopping cart and will be called numerous times. I can't keep restarting/reloading Apache. Is there a better way?

You only have to restart after updates of the code. If you can't do that you shouldn't deploy work in progress to a production server. Anyway, depending on your version of mod_perl; for mod_perl 1.X you can use Apache::StatInc which will reload modules if they've been changed (this can mess up stuff if you have cached data/dependencies, but for simple modules it should work). For mod_perl 2.X (and apparently also, 1.X) you can use Apache::Reload / Apache2::Reload , which does more or less the same. updated: fixed link to apache::reload "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"
