(still no closures)

My example might be misleading, since I used x before it was defined (to make
the example short). Typical examples look like this:

my $global1;

sub func1_using_global1 {
}

sub func2_using_global2_and_func1 {
}
 
etc... Users of the module outside the module itself can get incosistent
views about which fucntion accesses which global.

I was under the impression that you cannot configure Apache from a
PerlRequire. If that is not the case (and somehow works) I'd really like
to get away from perlsections.

You cannot redefine closures as well.
