I haven't used this.  I see that Apache::compat does the following:

($Apache::Server::Starting, $Apache::Server::ReStarting) =
    Apache2::ServerUtil::restart_count() == 1 ? (1, 0) : (0, 1);

If the count stays at 2, then that probably says it is restarting indefinitely.

If you just want to know when you are no longer in the parent process,
you could use a PerlChildInitHandler to set a flag indicating this.
