The current request will have exclusive rights to it since each apache
engine has it's own perl engine. For your intents and purposes, a single
perl engine is never servicing more than one request to completion at any
given time.
Whether that environment variable survives untouched to the next request is
another matter. but you mentioned that you did not care about that. So I
guess it doesn't matter.
