Maybe the FAQ helps (don't know if it is applicable in your case, but
take a look):
http://wiki.modruby.net/en/?FAQ#How+do+I+keep+an+object+instance+between+invocations+of+a+page%2C+for+example%2C+a+persistent+database+handle%3F

    require 'memory'

    r = Apache.request

    Memory.memory[:count] ||= 0
    Memory.memory[:count] += 1

    r.content_type = 'text/html'
    r.send_http_header
    r << "<html>Pid #{Process.pid}, memory count #{Memory.memory[:count]}</html>"

[file memory.rb]
    class Memory
      def self.memory
          @memory ||= {}
      end
    end
