Dear Monks, I have quite a few CGI scripts that with time became slow, so I decided to use Apache::Registry to speed them up. However, I encountered an interesting problem -- automatically generated subroutines get lost. Here's an example I came up with to illustrate the problem:

Dmitri/Test.pm 

package Dmitri::Test;

INIT {
        # This does not work under Apache::Registry:
        *{"Dmitri::Test::ABC::say_hello"} = sub { print "hi\n"; };
        *{"Dmitri::Test::ABC::new"} = sub { return bless {}, "Dmitri::
+Test::ABC"
; };

        # This works:
        #sub Dmitri::Test::ABC::say_hello { print "hi\n"; };
        #sub Dmitri::Test::ABC::new { return bless {}, "Dmitri::Test::
+ABC"; };
}

sub say_hi {
        my $x = Dmitri::Test::ABC->new;
        $x->say_hello;
}

1;

test.cgi 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Dmitri::Test;

print <<HTML;
Content-type: text/plain

HTML

Dmitri::Test::say_hi;

exit(0);

The code runs fine under mod_cgi. Using Apache::Registry, I get this error:

[Wed Nov 6 16:49:12 2002] [error] Can't locate object method "new" via package "Dmitri::Test::ABC" (perhaps you forgot to load "Dmitri::Test::ABC"?) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Dmitri/Test.pm line 14.

I could theoretically use the second method pointed out in Test.pm code, but the problem is that the routines are generated from code refs, and doing 

sub A::B::routine { &$ref }

just causes me mental pain and anguish (inefficient).

I wonder if your collective wisdom could show me the way out of this problem. Many thanks.
