Re: [cgiapp] (Fwd) Re: [cgiapp] Shared class attributes under mod_perl

[Eric Frazier <suppressed>]

Hi,

I am curious. How global is global? I mean for example I will use a db
handle in a module as global with use vars qw($dbh); but the rest is use
strict. The module is a class module with bless and please and thankyou. 

Is this still the kind of thing to big time avoid? So if I run this code
without Apache::DBI I end up with extra db connections, not really very
pretty. But I never thought it would be a big problem. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks,


Eric
