That's exactly what I was going to anwer.
The example in the guide *demonstrates* the problem and possible
workarounds for it. But it states that the best approach is to have your
registry script with a single call to some method in another module, which
solves all the problems.
Of course you can go for workarounds, but those will haunt you until you
will give up and redesign (move the code out of the script). If you need a
quick solution with no redesign, you have it in the guide.
our() and other perl5.6 new APIs are too early to be endorsed, as 5.6 is
not yet considered as a stable version for mod_perl production sites,
therefore the guide barely touches on it.
