Как сделать программу PSGI дорогостоящей инициализацией только один раз за процесс, а не за поток?

cross-post: http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1191821

Рассмотрим app.psgi:

#!perl
use 5.024;
use strictures;
use Time::HiRes qw(sleep);

sub mock_connect {
    my $how_long_it_takes = 3 + rand;
    sleep $how_long_it_takes;
    return $how_long_it_takes;
}
sub main {
    state $db_handle = mock_connect($dsn);
    return sub { [200, [], ["connect took $db_handle seconds\n"]] };
}
my $dsn = 'dbi:blahblah'; # from config file
my $app = main($dsn);

Эта производительность неприемлема, поскольку инициализация происходит несколько раз, несмотря на переменную state. Как вы это делаете, это происходит только один раз?
