It's the mod_perl that is threaded, not my perl script. Under a single-process/multi-threaded Apache, any variables declared such as what I did will share that variable across each mod_perl thread... it works for me anyhow :) If you don't believe me, pop this script under a mod_perl environment. Indeed, if I were using a multi-process Apache (forked rather than threaded), a separate count would be kept for each Apache process:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl -w
$|++;

use strict;
use CGI::Simple;

use vars qw($count);  # could also use our()

my $CGI = CGI::Simple->new();
print $CGI->header(), ++$count;
