Yes, with the further caveat that you should not have additional interpreter classes in the same PerlEx instance either that could load the same module. Maybe that was implied by your statement, but I wanted to make sure nobody tries to create several PerlEx thread pools inside a single IIS application pool, and expect them to be isolated from each other: everything inside a single IIS application pool will happen inside the same process.
