Yes, and that it exactly what the doc I referred to shows you:
You instantiate an object in your startup file; then you configure mod_perl
to call your handler with this object as the class, like:
PerlHandler $My::obj->handler
$My::Obj must then be an instance of the handler class, but can contain any
other information too.
Now, in your handler, you get:
sub handler ($$) {
my ($obj, $r) = @_;
and you have your $obj, which you can use freely. ($obj isn't a class name,
it is an ... object!)
Wasn't that what you wanted?
