I've struggled with wanting to use globals too, but it's not the functional
way. Our current approach is to create a parallel request object and pass
that through all of the function calls. We set a member of the parallel
request object to the actual Apache request object. Something like this:
$s->new Session($r, $dbh);
and then in Session,
sub new {
($class, $self->{REQUEST}, $self->{DBH})=...@_;
and then later
DoStuffWithRequest($s);
It might be neater to just override the Apache request object.
