In general, you can't use a DBH across a fork. I don't know of any db clients where the handle will survive a fork.
You write, however, it appears that all the children end up sharing the same DBH
How did you check for that? The good way to check would be to have your program fork, let each child open a connection, then sleep for a minute or something. During that time, log on to the database using another tool (Toad or DB-Artisan or something) and see how many connections are in your name. If the numbers agree, you're done.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
