It doesn't matter what programming paradigma are you actually using. Just call
curl_global_init()/curl_easy_cleanup() once per whole program. A singleton
might be a good candidate if you like clean object-oriented design?

Then for each curl_easy_init() you should call one curl_easy_cleanup(). You
can wrap it to class and call the functions in its ctor/dtor. Or perhaps use
cURLpp binding which does the job for you?
