 Global Variables
           It's always a good idea to stay away from global variables when possible.  Some variables must be global so Perl can
           see them, such as a module's @ISA or $VERSION variables.  In common practice, a combination of "use strict" and "use
           vars" keeps modules clean and reduces a bit of noise.  However, use vars also creates aliases as the Exporter does,
           which eat up more space.  When possible, try to use fully qualified names instead of use vars.  Example:

            package MyPackage;
            use strict;
            @MyPackage::ISA = qw(...);
            $MyPackage::VERSION = "1.00";

           vs.

            package MyPackage;
            use strict;
            use vars qw(@ISA $VERSION);
            @ISA = qw(...);
            $VERSION = "1.00";

           In case I forgot to mention, read Vivek Khera's the mod_perl_tuning manpage document for more tips on improving
           Apache/mod_perl performance.
