I just read the fine print: Apache::Registry runs BEGIN subroutines just once per child process, but END routines run every time a script is run. The implication is that an otherwise robust module may behave unexpectedly when it's imported by an Apache::Registry script. Doesn't this cause problems for mod_perl users? There is no mention of this issue in either mod_perl_to_cgi or mod_perl_traps.
Admittedly, most of the code in my END subroutines should probably be refactored into OO DESTROY subroutines anyways. But if not burned, I've been significantly scalded by this belated realization. I don't see anything on CPAN that can be easily applied to all of the modules that written. I'll happily fill that void, but I must be overlooking the obvious solution. Can anyone provide any insights? Jim Schueler Motor City Interactive
