One of the reasons you should probably not have a persistent/global CGI object is that upon a "new" the CGI module reads in numerous environment variables and setups up its internal structures for that particular query. If $q (in $q=new CGI) was persistent/global you would possibly have the wrong internal data in $q for the current request.

This includes a lot of database-queries, calculations and so on. about 0.3 seconds are used just for one command: $query=new CGI; I tried to cache the retrieved object between several requests by storing to a persistent variable to avoid this long time, but it is not cacheable. (in the meaning of : operations on a cached CGI-object will just produce nothing) This is not a problem of my persistent variables, cause this works with many other objects like db-handles (cant use Apache::DBI cause this keeps to many handles opened, so I need to cache and pool on my own), filehandles etc. any idea ? thnx, peter -- mag. peter pilsl phone: +43 676 3574035 fax : +43 676 3546512 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sms : [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp-key available
