NAME
Apache2::ASP::ApplicationStateManager - Base class for Application State Managers.
SYNOPSIS
Within your ASP script:
<%
$Application->{counter}++;
$Response->Write("This website has had $Application->{counter} visitors since restart.");
%>DESCRIPTION
The global $Application object is an instance of a subclass of Apache2::ASP::ApplicationStateManager.
It is a blessed hash that is persisted within a database. Use it to share information across all requests for all users.
NOTE: - do not store database connections within the $Application object because they cannot be shared across different processes/threads at this time.
