The dumped data is filled into a file that has a package declaration at the top that is pretty uniform across all the dumps.

There are hundreds of these dumps (serialized data) across a directory structure.

Certain parts of this directory structure are made available to certain users of this web app (similar to Unix filesystem access rules).

Thus, the data contained in these dumps are pertinant to the group the user is a member of. Since this data is stored in a uniform namespace (the package delcaration that is the same across all the dump files), the data shows up (due to mod_perls persistance) even though the object falls out of scope. So a few refreshes from one session might accidentally show the data from another session (this seems to be the case in a low percentage of views, say one in ten).
