Re^2: DBI vs Apache::DBI

Yes, it's running under mod-perl. Should I change it to DBI or DBIx::Connector as the original responder suggested?

As I understand, `Apache:DBI` is supposed to be loaded in the `mod_perl` configuration, not in the script. If `Apache::DBI` is loaded, `use DBI;` actually gives you `Apache::DBI` and its extra feature of connection caching. In all cases, the script should "`use DBI;`". If you want to use DBIx::Connector, you will need to read the documentation and possibly change more than just a `use` line in your script. I have not used it and I do not know about it.
