You can define a sub named CLEANUP in every Embperl page. That will be call
after the request is finish and the connection to the browser has been
closed. As the name suggest, a good place for cleaning up (like closing
database handles). But I guess that's not what you want. To get your module
called every time any Embperl is requested, use EmbperlObject, there you can
define a base page that looks like:
base.htm:
[- $obj = new whatever::module ; -]
[- $obj -> init -]
[- Execute ('*') ; # This calls the page -]
[- $obj -> term -]
in your httpd.conf
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE base.htm
PerlHandler HTML::EmbperlObject
of course you can do much more with EmbperlObject.
