I do not consider myself a mod_perl guru... But, it sounds like you are
having troubles with global variables. Once you have the script compiled go
here...
1) http://yourserver.com/perl-status
2) click "Compiled Registry Scripts"
3) click on the script in question
4) check on your hashes, scalars, and unknown variable at the bottom.
My bet is that some of these is not being properly initialized for each pass
through your script.
