Jesse,

Thanks for confirming this.  It's good to know I shouldn't ever have to 
clear the cache manually (where I'm using mod_perl).

I guess a lot of folks run with FastCGI, judging from the comments (here 
and in various places in the wiki) about manually clearing the cache. 
I've never seen such a comment qualified by "unless you're using 
mod_perl").

Mike
