Bug#348474: invoke-rc.d apache-perl restart doesn't reload perl modules
Package: apache-perl
Version: 1.3.33-6sarge1
Severity: normal
The /etc/init.d/apache-perl script sends a signal HUP to apache-perl when
called with the restart option.
The apache doco says that this causes the parent to kill it's children,
re-read it's config files, and re open the log files.
What this doesn't do is load up new versions of perl modules. So if you've
just made a change to your web application, the change doesn't come into
effect.
