You're absolutely right... Shame on me. The first homegrown module I was importing did exactly that. It would try to get the user cookie right on use(), which of course isn't very good practice. So I've modified it to get it on first call of a certain method, and to return that same value on subsequent calls. Geez... Now I have to transition all my scripts and other modules to mod_perl. Where could I find examples of real-life conversion between normal CGI and mod_perl? (Other than the perl.apache.org docs, which even though they're great, lack real examples of what needs to be done for the really ugly types of code...) Thanks for bearing with me through this...
