You can also read in the data you want in a startup.pl file
and put the info in a hash in a global memory space
(MyApp::datastruct{}) that gets shared through forking (copy on write,
not read, right?). If the data is read only, and only a certain size,
this option has worked _very_ well for me in the past. -sc
