My newbie response is that each Apache process makes its own compiled
copy of the script.
Say you have 5 apache processes. You load the page and see result X
(handled by process #1).
You make a change. You load the page and see result Y. (this time,
handled by process #2).
If process #2 has never loaded that script before, process #2 will
compile the changed version and display that.
You make another change and this time #1 handles it, but instead of
seeing result Z, you see result X.

Hi, I'm a little newbie, so please forgive me if the question is a bit
lame.
I've installed apache 2.0.58 with modperl 2.0.2 from source, and
when I change a script on disk, the results get automatically
reflected on the browser (I don't have to restart apache). I didn't
setup Apache2::reload or anything like that. Is that normal?
My apache conf is something like this:
<FilesMatch "\.pl$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
PerlOptions -ParseHeaders
PerlSendHeader Off
</FilesMatch>
Thanks!
