Okay- Maybe I'm trying too hard here, but, if so, I'd appreciate a slap in
the face. Here's the project:

I've got information stored in a DBI-accessible database. I would like to
read this information from the database and populate an object with the
data (really just a tree of hashes). This database "dump" into the object
should occur at child-init (so, I'm guessing with a PerlChildInitHandler 
directive). Then, I need to use the object functions/methods to navigate 
the data in a content handler.

I tried passing the object using $r->notes(), but it didn't work. Then I
read somewhere the data in $r->notes() is destroyed after each request- so
of course that isn't going to work. 

Essentially, I need to make this object persistent across requests in much
the same way Apache::DBI makes database connection handles persistent
across requests. 

Can I make a variable scoped local to the child? Weird, huh?

Thanks in advance for your attention to this issue.
