[ome-users] Changing the perl2 code

[Ilya Goldberg]

This depends how you installed the code.
If you specified a developer installation (not the default), then the  
web pages will be served out of the directory tree containing the  
installer you ran.  A developer install allows you to modify the  
files in place, and they will be available immediately from the  
server.  Occasionally Apache doesn't detect that you've modified a  
file, so an Apache restart is required (sudo apachectl restart, or  
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart).

If you changed things in perl2 without a developer install, then you  
will have to run the installer in that directory tree for the changes  
to take effect because the pages are being served from the system's  
perl library (type perl -V, and look at what's listed under '@INC').   
You can always run the installer with the -y flag to so that it does  
the update without pestering you with questions.
