The answer to the question was: yes, after your question, in a
dedicated fhrase/paragraph. I expected you wanted to know if the
perl script is loaded at startup and then run from memory
(precompiled form) at runtime -- sparing another email to ask what
you really mean by "constantly run in background", which has
different meaning in my understanding, but has no relation with the
purpose of Kamailio and its app_perl module.<br>
<br>
The following remark (on separate paragraph) was an addition to say
that, if you need to refresh the the loaded perl script in memory,
can be done periodically if using upcoming 4.2. I added it, not
strictly for reloading the script in memory, but apparently perl was
not designed for long recursive running of scripts (or maybe
developers of some libs didn't have that in mind), resulting in
system memory leak after long interval of runing (reported by
others, as I am not really using app_perl).<br>

</span> yes.<br>

The upcoming 4.2 has the option to reload the script (and
reset the perl interpreter) periodically.<br>
