At leats in the example I sent in there is no sign of any closure.

Indeed, I could have worded it better. Just replace global by "file-scope"
and it is correct, though. What I wanted to make clear is that the my
variable in question is global (= life during the program lifetime), since
it was declared at package scope.

Huh? Why is "do" a bad thing???? In any case, there is no shorter and
(IMHO) more consise way of writing these two lines without do.

I wasn't clear here. I use these modules in config sections. The problem
is that the modules indeed are parsed twice. I first didn't believe it,
but any modules I "use" in perl sections are indeed parsed twice by apache
(If I open a file and append something to it in a module I cna see this.
Simply printing doesn't suffice, as STDOUT is not available)
Here is an example perl section:
========================================================================================
PerlModule PApp::Apache # this pulls PApp in as well.
<Location /perl-status>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Status
</Location>
<Files *.cgi>
Options +ExecCGI
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
</Files>
<Perl>
search_path PApp "/root/src/Fluffball";
configure PApp (
cipherkey => "60feafc16b887e7fcfcf1814590ee576e908197c7d31a9fd13e25cb54f636b70",
pappdb => "DBI:mysql:papp",
checkdeps => 1,
);
</Perl>
