Shouldn't you be using the database itself to store the state? Will Apache::Singleton instance replicate itself if you were to run your application on multiple servers behind load balancers (for scalability and fail-over purposes)? If yes, you probably should usw Storage Module to save your SQL object and retrieve in each request. That would be 'true' singleton, in my opinion.
