Memoize doesn't really apply here unless you want to cache
template output.

That doesn't seem right. When you use $template->process() it doesn't use
the new PRE_PROCESS setting?

With mod_perl, each request is handled by a separate process and the
$template object is unique to each process. Your settings in one process
have no effect on other processes.
