SPUG: Using import() as init under mod_perl

[Andrew Sweger]

Let's say you've got a Perl module (Module.pm) that you've loaded via the
PerlRequire Apache directive (a la mod_perl) and you're planning on
'use'ing it in a Perl script serviced under Apache::Registry. Can anyone
comment on any possible problems with using Module::import() as an
initialization routine to reset global variables?

Example: in Module.pm

package Module;

sub import {
	$Module::tabulator = 0;
}

As I understand it, Module->import ("class" method) will be called each
time the module is 'use'd. Make sense?
