Like-named perl modules in separate directories

[Tim Gerla <ti...@rrv.net>]

I've got a problem with a perl module (.pm) problem on my server. I've
got two slightly different versions of a file: Conf.pm, in two separate
places on my server. (Let's call them /home/www/docs/web/cgi/ and
/home/www/docs/minos/cgi/) Mod_perl apparently keeps caching one or the
other, causing interesting problems if I hit a 'web' script, and then a
'minos' script a few minutes later. 

What's the best way to get around this?

Thanks,

-Tim

Use different namespaces for the two modules.

RTFM :)
http://perl.apache.org/release/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#Name_collisions_with_Modules_and_libs

You should read the whole mod_perl guide. You'll be out of questions 
afterwards :)
