Subject: Apache with Ruby: Several questions

Hi,

I'd like to migrate an old Apache/PHP/Perl application to Ruby, and 
I do have some question:

- PHP supports persistent MySQL connections, so it does not need
  to reopen the connection for every single Web access.

  Is there a way to do this in Ruby?


- Apache maintains several processes, and subsequent requests
  are handled by different processes. An efficient way for 
  interprocess-Communication is required. 

  Perl has a module which allows to put a Hash into a shared
  memory segment.
  
  Does ruby support something similar?

regards
Hadmut
