So I've written the following working example where I call my script via Javascript with a query parameter ( function= ) , the value of function is evaluated by the perl script, and then calls the appropriate sub based on the value. Then I take the output and just display it with some ajax. This all works great with straight perl, however falls apart when I use pperl. When using pperl the variables do not 're-declare' so if you send 'function=one' to the script 5 times, and then send 'function=two' 5 times, you'll still get the 'funcOne' sub to run. I think I understand why this is I just can't figure a way around. I've looked at mod_perl's, speedyCGI and other persistent environment documentation. Any help would be appreciated.

use CGI qw(:standard);

######################################
# This is the function request handler, it takes the 'function' argume

switch ( $function ) {
    case 'one' { 
        print $myCGI->header(-type=>"text/html",-charset=>"UTF-8");
        print $myCGI->start_html;
        funcOne();
    }
    case 'two' {
        print $myCGI->header(-type=>"text/html",-charset=>"UTF-8");
        print $myCGI->start_html;
        funcTwo();
    }
    case 'three' {
        print $myCGI->header(-type=>"text/html",-charset=>"UTF-8");
        print $myCGI->start_html;
        funcThree();
    }
    else {
        print $myCGI->header(-type=>"text/html",-charset=>"UTF-8");
        print $myCGI->start_html;
        print "Function not found";
    }
}

sub funcOne(){
    print "\nONE\n";
    return( 1 );
}

sub funcTwo(){
    print "\nTWO\n";
    return( 1 );
}

sub funcThree(){
    print "\nTHREE\n";
    return( 1 );
