       Apache::StatINC - Reload %INC files when updated on disk

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
         #httpd.conf or some such
         #can be any Perl*Handler
         PerlInitHandler Apache::StatINC

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       When Perl pulls a file via require, it stores the filename
       in the global hash %INC.  The next time Perl tries to
       require the same file, it sees the file in %INC and does
       not reload from disk.  This module's handler iterates over
       %INC and reloads the file if it has changed on disk.

       Note that StatINC 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 StatINC to work with modules that live
       in custom @INC paths, you should modify @INC when the
       server is started.  Besides, 'use lib' in startup scripts,
       you can also set the PPEERRLL55LLIIBB variable in the httpd's
       environment to include any non-standard 'lib' directories
       that you choose.  For example, you might use a script
       called 'start_httpd' to start apache, and include a line
       like this:
               PERL5LIB=/usr/local/foo/myperllibs; export PERL5LIB

       UndefOnReload
           Normally, StatINC will turn of warnings to avoid
           "Subroutine redefined" warnings when it reloads a
           file.  However, this does not disable the Perl
           mandatory warning when re-defining constant
           subroutines (see perldoc perlsub).  With this option
           On, StatINC will invoke the AAppaacchhee::::SSyymmbbooll
           undef_functions method to avoid these mandatory
           warnings:
