In your original email you've said that the variables don't get reset on
recompilation.
The variables are set when you set them, either every time in the script
when this executed, or in the BEGIN block once as you have mentioned
below (under Apache::Registry).

Brrgghhh, I guess we were talking about different things.... I thought
you were trying to initialize in the code. Apparently I misread your
quote. Sorry about that.
Never mind, BEGIN { somevar=somevalue; } does what you want, great!!!
