Mario, (are you one of the Mario bros?) In modperl, scripts do not terminate once completed. This is for performance reasons. Even the die() function has been overloaded to avoid this. As such your global variables will remain initialised at the start of the next HTTP call.
Take a look at: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html For a list of things to be aware of when porting CGI to modperl. Not much work, and it's definately worth the effort. Mario R.
