The notion of application is mostly closely tied to where the global.asa
resides. This is configured with the PerlSetVar Global config, and defaults
to '.', the current directory of the executing script.

I can have scripts in lots of subdirectories, and if my PerlSetVar Global
config is the same for all of them, they are part of the same application.

Only if Global is set to that directory, or is left unset, and defaults
to that local global.asa.

No.
Be careful also to pay attention to where StateDir is set. This
can be set independent of Global, and controls where data for
$Session and $Application is stored. Thus, you could actually
share data across applications if StateDir were set to be the
same for each.
