Subject: $cgi = CGI.new w/ mod_ruby dangerous or acceptable?

i've run into a couple of spots where it would be nice to have a universally 
accessabe cgi instance, but i do not know if this is safe, especially 
considering that mod_ruby can persist globals across requests. could a global 
cgi object bleed over into unexpecting requests? anyone know what kind of 
effect something like this would have? on the other hand, what effect does it 
have to have many CGI.new's in the same script? that's another alternative.

thanks,
tom
