What you are talking about is just a global that you access
in your scripts. You could declare this in your global.asa
with
use vars qw($Application2);
Then just use it like $Application2->{key} = $value;
I use this kind of in process data caching all the time,
and you will see that Apache::DBI does something similar.
What you don't get here is interprocess communication
which is what the use of $Application is geared for, that
the data is stored is some process neutral location, so
web requests may access the data independent of the httpd
process they are coming from.
