You can't keep things in memory with CGI scripts because they are spawned and exit on each request. You'll need to cache things in a database or file. The dirt-simple solution is a file that you write periodically from a cron job, and read from your CGI scripts. If you read it frequently, it will be kept in the filesystem cache so the read will be extremely fast. - Perrin
