Apache and mod

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

Hi All,

I have this file structure:
dir1/lib/IOL/foo.pm
dir2/lib/IOL/foo.pm
I have two software directories (e.g. dir1 and dir2) which may have some identical file names (the files' content maybe different), I'm using mod_perl.
Is it possible for me to use foo.pm from directory dir1/lib/IOL and after that to use foo.pm from dir2/lib/IOL?
I need to be able to select the module to run without restarting apache...
Is it possible?

Thanks,
Daniel.

Perhaps you will find this info useful: Name collisions with Modules and libs from mod_perl docs.	[reply]

Also read http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#Reloading_Modules_and_Required_Files if you need to replace instead of concurrently use the modules. In that case you might might make a link from one of the modules to a common location and try to reload the module.	[reply]
