or (easier) just place a reference to a variable containing your data in
pnotes instead of notes - that way a reference, and not the data, is passed
around. the data has to exist somewhere, but now you only have one copy of
it...
pnotes is (IMHO) the single greatest, but least well known method in
mod_perl - don't leave home without it...
