Your MySQL server probably stopped. Start it up again.
Check your error logs to see why it stopped. | [reply] |
If you post some code, we may be able to help you more. You will also get this error if your mySQL process is killed through any sort of SQL process manager. The server may be running, but if it forcefully terminates your connection, then that may be what causes it.
It's not in essence a perl question, but you may be messing up somewhere slightly in the code. Like I said, if you post it, a wizard may be able to lift the fog.

You sometimes get this with a heavily loaded SQL server, not just MySQL. If the connection between your script and MySQL gets dropped... well...
What you can do sneakily is abstract it a bit, and if MySQL dies on you, you can catch it, sleep 60, and then try to reconnect silently. If it dies on the reconnect, then you got real trouble you need to die or croak on.
