Is it possible to use global variables spanning modules?

[Gary Willoughby]

Yes i know it's horrible but is it possible to use global 
variables spanning modules?

I need to capture a small amount of program data and deal with it 
in termination signal handlers. The data will be captured from 
various classes spread around different modules.

I'm thinking the easiest solution is a couple of global vars and 
then i can access these in the signal handle after the various 
objects update these values during runtime.

Thoughts?
