Okay, this is an easy one. You are declaring $imgserver as a lexical (my)
variable. When Perl finishes executing this file, lexical variables go
out of scope. You can fix this by making it a real global like $VERSION,
either with a use vars or with fully-qualified variable names. You could
still use lexicals if you create subroutine closures to provide access to
them, but I think using globals is simpler.

You should submit something for the "success stories" and "sites running
mod_perl" pages on http://perl.apache.org/. You might get a few free
clicks for your trouble.
