Clear Registry
Is there a way in Perl code to clear out the cached code in the
registry?

Guess that doesn't help with Apache2, sorry should have looked closer :(

Except you have two modules A and B, where A's BEGIN block depends on B's
BEGIN block being executed beforehand, and you only change module A. In that
case you definitely must restart.
Got bitten by that on the last project...

I use Apache::StatINC
It works fine for me, I haven't noticed needing to restart with it

99.9% of the time Apache2::Reload works well for me; though, I agree
with jonathan, *sometimes*, I do have to restart -- though very
infrequently.

So are you saying that a graceful restart is the only real answer?

Or for more manual control:
ModPerl::Util::unload_package("My::Library");
require My::Library;

RE: Clear Registry

No I was not using Modperl::RegistryCooker. I guess I will have to
"use" it.
In Mod_Perl my "library" files get loaded into memory. If I want to
make a change to the "library" file (one that my main.pl file
"requires") I cannot since it is in memory or cache. To get it to
realize the update I usually have to reset Apache. I'm hoping for an
easier way especially since sometimes I don't have the right to reset
the server.
Thanks,
Justin

Are you calling it as Modperl::RegistryCooker->uncache_myself()?
What is the _exact_ error message ?
But more interestingly, what exactly are you triyng to do that
requires you to clean the cached registry code yourself ?
