Re: shared variable between PerlChildInitHandler and PerlResponseHandler

Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I am still not able to make 
it work.

Spurred by your advice, I examined my apache2.conf config. Here it is:

PerlSwitches -I/mnt/hgfs/src/api    # the path where my modules live
PerlModule StartupLog
PerlChildInitHandler StartupLog::child_init
<Location /event>
    SetHandler modperl   
    PerlResponseHandler StartupLog::handler
</Location>


In answer to your questions:

[mr] I haven't changed the MPM, and I'm running on a Linux host. I do not have 
the +Parent option

[mr] I'm getting different addresses, which illustrates the problem

2010/08/19 18:13:37 child_init &sticky = SCALAR(0x220ea748)
2010/08/19 18:13:37 child_init sticky (pre) = 0
2010/08/19 18:13:37 child_init sticky (post) = 1
...
2010/08/19 18:13:48 handler sticky (should be 1)= 0
2010/08/19 18:13:48 handler &sticky = SCALAR(0x23102e28)

[mr] I've gone back and forth on using a package variable; the warn statement 
was a remnant.



Thanks again!
