Thank you very much for your help, Jeff. These are great
suggestions. Earlier, I had taken a look at these methods, but none of
them seemed to be what I really wanted.

Can't really use END blocks in Mason-native components, and there
doesn't seem to be a hook for the PerlChildExitHandler that's native
to Mason, unless I'm mistaken.

...meanwhile, register_cleanup turns out to be per-request, and
doesn't get to the root of my problem, which is that I'm saving up
data in apache children that are constantly coming and going because
of apache's own dynamism.

...which turns out only to work if the parent process exits, but I
need a way to hook into the children.
Stas Bekman is absolutely amazing, though, and I have his book and I
love it. On this project, though, I'm trying to do stay out of low
level mod_perl territory because of module namespace issues. So far, I
have done everything in a neat, modularized Mason-component-only
system that's flexible and easy to maintain.
Sadly, it appears that there is no way to catch this natively in
Mason, so I'd have to have a PerlChildExitHandler and a ton of globals
so that the exit handler could see my Apache::DBI DB handle and all
the data it needs to carefully squirrel away.
I may just be stuck and have to do this some other way.
