Hi! I have a module which EventMachine mixes in to implement a UDP server. In this case the module’s post\_init method is called when someone connects and takes the place of a constructor, but how can I pass parameters to post\_init? I have a configuration object that I want to share among all of my server instances, how do I accomplish that without making a global variable? Les ---

Nevermind, I see you can get EventMachine to make use of a class instead of a Module for new server instances. I’ll use that facility. Les
