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 the global hash %INC. The next time Perl tries to require the same file, it sees the file in %INC and does not reload from disk. This module's handler iterates over %INC and reloads the file if it has changed on disk.

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

BUGS

A growing number of pragmas (base, fields, etc.) make the assumption that they are only loaded once. When you reload the same file, they tend to show their surprised by not working. If you feel motivated to submit patches for these problems, I would encourage that.
