It is certainly possible (*), but really, really, really inefficient.
You are going to force your Apache server to create a new child process
for each HTTP request ? That sounds crazy.
You should review your application logic instead.

server configuration.
But don't think that I would recommend doing that.

I don't now what you mean by "bounce the application", but why do you not do something
like this :
At the beginning of your first "handler" :
our $CACHED_DATA;
unless (defined $CACHED_DATA) {
$CACHED_DATA = _load_cached_data();
}
....
within the request processing :
our $CACHED_DATA;
if ($condition) {
$CACHED_DATA = undef;
}
return OK;
...
sub _load_cached_data {
# load and cache whatever data needs be
my $cached_data;
...
return $cached_data;
}
