You can serialize it and store it and bring it back (after require'ing the class definition, or using autoload) but the serialize/unserialize has a penalty... If you are already mucking with sockets and such, you could go whole-hog and consider writing your own message / distribution handler, so that your socket-based script never actually ends, so the object never goes away. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
