Thank you for your advice. I looked at IPC::SharedCache, but why would I need something like that? It sounds like what this module is doing is just speeding up template loading, which would be nice and I had been definitely thinking about implementing some kinda caching in my application, but it doesn't really solve my original problem.

If you're using Apache, you'll need a mechanism for sharing the session stacks across all of the child processes (unless you're using Apache 1.3 on W2K).
