I'm serving many web requests with an apache modperl handler, and I'm doing

performance by somehow doing a tie/open just once when the apache servers
starts, and then again only when the cdb file changes, if needed?
Exactly what you just said. Open read-only though! You'll probably need a 'use vars' in startup.pl to make the handle global.
CDB's are read only anyway, so this shouldn't make a difference.
I'm not convinced this is a good place to look for performance gains though. The tie process for a cdb is just a file open.
