We've already discussed this one into the ground, but for anyone here who
hasn't heard all this before, the main reason to use handlers instead of
Registry is to avoid the odd compromises caused by writing something that
is going to be wrapped in a generated package name and eval'ed into a
subroutine. It's a pretty cool trick, but it's also limiting. For
example, not being able to use subroutines unless you put them in an
external module is troublesome.
I also use handlers invoked as class methods so that I can do some
inheritance stuff in my modules. I don't think Apache::Registry can deal
with that at this point.
