    But only in a very general sense.

    Better look at the version 2.2 docs and more specifically the comments on the Postconfig Handler. But even if you load the module that early in the server startup-cycle, there is no guarantee that the data will stay shared for the lifetime of the server.

    A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
