If you have complex data structures pnotes() is definitely the way to
go.. Highly recommended.
Another alternative is to use package globals. Just make sure that
your PerlInitHandler and PerlCleanupHandler re-initializes them before
every request..
Note: I have not compared the speed differences between these two
approaches. I would assume the latter would be a little faster. Of
course it will make your code non-thread-safe, so it's not so good for
potential mod_perl 2.0 compatibility..
