How long does it take for you? I've run a lot of large mod_perl apps this way and never seen it take more than 3 seconds to compile and generate a page. Maybe this is only an issue with Moose? Or maybe there's some expensive initialization that could be skipped in development? Anyway, another approach would be to set MaxClients to 1 and install cleanup handler that kills the current process if it sees that any of the watched modules have been changed. Then you don't need a separate process. - Perrin
