In a module that I am writing, I need to share an object between

that the server configuration is not shared between the child
processes,
rather each process has it's own server configuration. (I want the
module to work despite the MPM used.)
So my question is how can I share an object between successive
requests?
Well, that is persistent storage. Common tools for this include the
filesystem, mmap'ed storage, and databases. Remember that apache
could suddenly go away between any two requests. -Tim
