I define PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB globaly for the whole server but PERL5LIB
was stripped out from @INC anyway on enabling PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload
in _any_ vhost.
I am using PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB per vhost basis and it works fine for me
without Apache::Reload.

I would like just set PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload on several vhosts
only for developing purposes and preserve everything else at that.

Thanks for advice,
Igor.

I can't reproduce what you see with Apache::Reload and I don't see 
anything in the code that mangles @INC.

Though what I do see, is that if you define PERL5LIB outside a 
VirtualHost, it overrides any PERL5LIB defined inside all VirtualHosts, 
no matter if you use Apache::Reload or not. I don't remember if that's 
how it should be or whether it's a bug. Those who use vhosts can 
probably help rectify the issue here.
