if you're needing access to this data from with Mason, you can use Mason's built in data caching. First you create a component file to encapsulate the data you want to share across requests and processes (i.e. "_getSharedData").
# mason component _getSharedData
my $value = $m->cache->get("key");
return $value if(defined($value));
# compute $value here since it hasn't been stored yet
$value = $$;
$m->cache->set(key=>$value);
return $value
Then you can call that component anytime you want to retrieve it.
my $value = $m->comp('/_getSharedData');
Note that Mason's cache, by default, is stored on disk but you can use any Cache::Cache sub-class that you want (Cache::SharedMemoryCache would allow you to share the data across processes without writing it to disk).
$m->cache(cache_class => 'SharedMemoryCache')->set(key=>$value);
$value = $m->cache(cache_class => 'SharedMemoryCache')->get("key");
Also, $m->cache->get("key") is scoped to the component you are calling it from (so don't expect to be able to access the same data from another component without calling _getSharedData
For more info on Mason caching, see the HTML::Mason::Devel docs.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
