Hello,
I'm a new modperl user, and I'm trying to figure out the joy that is Apache::Reload.
I keep having an issue where it can't find the modules to reload,
apparently due to relative path names.
In my httpd.conf, I use SetEnv to set the explicit paths I want. However, it appears that the relative 'use lib' paths that appear in code have precedence.
It's possible I could remove all these, and only set the path from httpd.conf and my shell environment (for command line module testing).
Is there a simpler way to make Apache::Reload work when there are relative 'use lib' paths in the code?
Since I'm new at this, It's possible I missed some documentation on this topic, and would happily accept a pointer to that if so.

Note that Apache::Reload operates on the current context of @INC. Which means, when called as a Perl*Handler it will not see @INC paths added or removed by Apache::Registry scripts, as the value of @INC is saved on server startup and restored to that value after each request. In other words, if you want Apache::Reload to work with modules that live in custom @INC paths, you should modify @INC when the server is started. Besides, 'use lib' in the startup script, you can also set the PERL5LIB variable in the httpd's environment to include any non-standard 'lib' directories that you choose. For example, to accomplish that you can include a line:
PERL5LIB=/home/httpd/perl/extra; export PERL5LIB
in the script that starts Apache. Alternatively, you can set this environment variable in httpd.conf:
PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /home/httpd/perl/extra
