Only if you're trying to update them from a different thread. If there aren't multiple threads involved, you can update globals from anywhere. If that's not working for you there's probably a mistake in the way you're referring to the variables. If you post some code we may be able to help. > Is there a way to do what I want in mod_perl - > namely have a HeaderParserHandler that uses data for some logic where that > data is updated from some other thread that I spawn? A more common approach with perl is to make a handler that runs in an early phase which reloads the data as needed, and not use a separate thread. If you're concerned about reloading the data adding too much delay to a web request, you could do this in a cleanup handler. - Perrin
