That is not the way CGI::Application works.  The CGI-App object expects
to have a lifespan of exactly one request.

You refer to "efficiency", and mod_perl.  CGI::Application was developed
from the start to work efficiently with mod_perl.  Using
Apache::Registry, the code is efficiently cached, so very little
unnecessary work is done between requests.

If you believe there is any other inefficiency, please provide dprofpp
profiling data to back up your theory.

TTYL,
