If you don't scope your variables in your scripts
with "my" then yes, you need to explicitly undef
them. If you are using globals, I would recommend
setting them up in Script_OnStart and undefing them
in Script_OnEnd, or with $Server->RegisterCleanup
You can help yourself be consistent with scoping
by turning on strict for all scripts automatically with
the UseStrict setting.
Apache::ASP does no explicit cleanup of the Global
package namespace in which all the scripts are run,
so all those generic global/scoping issues related to
modperl applications relate to Apache::ASP as well.
