I agree with Stas -- it would be easier to use something like a dbm. 
MLDB::Sync works well for this stuff.
When I've had to do this in the past, I've typically just used last
modtime check on some file as a form of notification, and have children
update their data as necessary.  This has the advantage of being easy, but
the disadvantage that the data is no longer shared.  I don't think you can
reall solve that without HUP-ing the server, but if you find a way I'll be
eager to hear about it.

Will report back, probably in the form of an Apache:: module 
proposal, if I can get this idea off the ground...
