How does Perl with mod_perl handle this. Are there any

Might the dataspaces be corrupted? How does this work?
variables will persist through every connection...
so 'use strict()' and specifically declare every variable with my /
our as appropriate
ie:
my $connected= 0;
sub connect {
my $connection= 'dbi connection';
$connected++;
return $connection
}
sub handler{
my $r= shift
if ( ! $connection ) {
$connection= connect()
}
print $connected;
}
the first time you run that, you'll call connect and increment
connected, which is local to the package. the second time though,
$connection will have been set within the handler block
and then everything that David Nicol said
