I upgraded from 199_16 to 199_mod_perl-2.0.0-RC2-Xmas and found out that Apache::Reload does not work the way it worked before. I traced it back to the 199_17 version. So in 199_16 everything worked fine, after 199_17 it did not. I used the PerlSetVar ReloadDebug On in the apache.conf but nothing is written to the error log.
All my modules have their own namespace. The main module reloads without problems, most of the modules that are used from the main module (with use) do not reload automatically. When I also change the main module the included modules have problems with losing variable references from the main module. The main modules is configures as the PerlResponseHandler all other modules are called from within this 'main' module with 'use'. All modules are also preloaded in a startup.pl file.
