I like Fast, too. I've already got mp in because we use other handlers at various phases.

Good thinking, but it didn't pan out. I get 'Server Starting' from a BEGIN in MyApp.pm only once. From a <perl> block in httpd.conf, I also get it only once (with or without PerlModule), and don't get 'Server ReStarting' at all.

This got me to playing with pulling modules out and other tests. What I find is that with PerlModule MyApp in httpd.conf, MyApp.pm compiles twice (call stack includes only 'eval's). When I remove the PerlModule line, MyApp.pm doesn't compile at server start. Also, apparently MyApp is getting require'd instead of use'd since my import() never gets called.
