  Maybe re-think your encapsulation... you're trying to move from the
assumption that a script goes away when you're done to the assumption that
it sticks around forever.

  If you still want to be able to call the scripts from CGI, that shouldn't
be too difficult while changing your object model to support re-entry -- but
if you're just trying to move over to mod_perl as quickly as possible, i
strongly suggest you slow down and put out the work to make it compatible
instead of looking for hacky ways around best practices. :-)
