That's true, as each apache instance gets its own interpreter.  To keep 
track of a counter, use some persistant storage, or, my favorite, ruby::Asp

Couldn't a mod_ruby/eruby/asp environment take care of namespace clashes 
by somehow putting scripts in different applications? As far as I know, 
I haven't had any such clashes when using perl Apache::Asp.
