SPUG: Using import() as init under mod_perl

[El JoPe Magnifico]

FYI, CGI.pm deals with mod_perl by doing this in the new() 
subroutine, which gets called on every 'use' of the module.

Actually new() calls _reset_globals() which is a passthrough
to intialize_globals(); the latter also gets called once in
the main block, near the beginning of the module, apparently
to "make mod_perl happy".  Suggest checking out the gory 
details yourself. =)

Dunno about import() and mod_perl.  At best that's a kludgy
place to put (re-)initialization.
