It depends on what you mean by share. You can create a simple perl object in startup.pl and access it from all processes later, but if you change it in one process, the change will not be seen in the others. With objects that contain open sockets, file handles, or XS structures, you usually can't share them at all. This is why you can't open a DBI connection in startup and use it from your child processes. I don't know Sleepycat::DBXML, but it sounds like something that would use file handles. Try creating your object in a PerlInitHandler instead, which runs in the child process when it is first created. - Perrin
