site copies under the one httpd

hi,

I have a site, it has two copies one that is on the Dev server (dev-copy)
and the other Production one.
So what I want ?
I want to have the Production site on my dev machine ... ( i'm arraging that
the DB and all dependant stuff get copied after some time passes). But AS U
KNOW I can't have two different modules with the same name under one
mod_perl even if they are on different virtual-hosts, 'cause they get
precompiled under the same name...
Is the only solution to use differnt mod_perl processes to handle this
situation ?!!

This is the best way, but certainly not only way.  Any change
in development could kill your production web server, and you
will probably be stop/starting your web server lots too,
so save yourself, and others visiting your site, the grief 
and keep your dev & prod httpd's running separately on 
different ports at the very least.

One solution could be to put your modules in some nonstandard location and
include them in @INC in the mod_perl_start.pl.  Then just use two different
locations for the modules, and each server adds one of these locations into
@INC - so production modules go to production server's @INC and dev goes to
dev server's @INC...
