thanks tons for everybody's insight on this.
I was hoping there might be a way to support a "shared" environment. I have heard of FastCGI. Perhaps there's something in there that could help.
IMHO the goal of so many web-based developers is to create an island between the islands as it were. The two islands of the server and the client. A project i am working on has a lot of talk about "Sharing", the web application server, and memory-based environments. The strategy, a flotilla of memory for passing requests. Smells to me like something i could be heading for in the future. Anyway, i hope my example demonstrated what i was after. Thanks again perl monks.
