Hi

This is a beginner question.

I want to instantiate an object just once in the lifetime of a script, =
not on every request.

I'm used to Mason where you can use Mason's <%once> block.

In mod_perl proper would the equivalent be to instantiate it in a BEGIN =
block? But it would need to be in scope for the whole script..

Thanks

Justin

You are using straight CGI, or using ModPerl::Registry?

If using registry, you should be able to instantiate the
object just by putting it in package scope (anywhere.)
Same is true for a proper handler.

If using straight CGI, you probably can't do this, because
the interpreter gets started up fresh for every hit to the
url.
