I'm new to all this mod_ruby stuff, so bear with me.

In my mod_ruby scripts, I use the line

   $store ||= Store.new(....)

where Store is my persistence class which sets up a PostgreSQL
connection. Do I need to rip this out and add one of these fancier
solutions that have been posted recently? It seems to me that this one
line is functionally equivalent, setting up one connection per Apache
process.  What am I missing here?
