Argh.  That begs the question as to why you are doing development  
under apache, and not just using the built in test server for the  
purpose that it's intended.

If the answer is that the dev server is single request and you've got  
lots of ajax, use the HTTP::Prefork engine:

$ cpan Catalyst:Engine::HTTP::Prefork
$ CATALYST_ENGINE=HTTP::Preform script/myapp_server.pl

I can't think of a good reason to use apache for development.  Sanity  
checking immediately before deployment, yes, but  actual  
development ... it's really better not to unless there's a very very  
good reason (and "my manager requires that we smear ourselves in the  
blood of chickens fed exclusively on virgin slugs when we come into  
work every day" isn't a very good reason).
