NAME

Module::Reload - Reload %INC files when updated on disk

SYNOPSIS

  Module::Reload->check;

DESCRIPTION

When Perl pulls a file via require, it stores the filename in theglobal hash %INC. The next time Perl tries to require the samefile, it sees the file in %INC and does not reload from disk. Thismodule's handler iterates over %INC and reloads the file if it haschanged on disk.

Set $Module::Reload::Debug to enable debugging output.

BUGS

A growing number of pragmas (base, fields, etc.) assume thatthey are loaded once only. When you reload the same file again, theytend to become confused and break. If you feel motivated to submitpatches for these problems, I would encourage that.
