After looking at this further, it turns out that Perrin's suggested
code *does* work, but only in the PerlResponseHandler or earlier
stages. And unfortunately, I mis-stated the original problem... which is
that I am trying to retrieve that pnotes object (Class::DBI instance)
in _PerlCleanupHandler_ (not PerlResponseHandler as originally stated).
When I try to retrieve this Class::DBI object from the Cleanup Handler,
the pnotes values are totally gone. However, regular scalers that I've
put in 'notes' are still there. Perhaps pnotes has (by design) already
been cleaned up prior to the PerlCleanupHandler stage?
FYI, this happens whether or not I define PerlCleanupHandler in the
server conf file or dynamically via $r->push_handlers.
thanks
