I always thought that Apache::DBI overloaded the DBI::connect and DBI::disconnect functions to enable persistent connections under mod-perl and did not really change anything how you programmed the DBI-interface. So if you drop all reference to Apache::DBI and use the correct DBI/DBD combo the program should keepon working.

    The point was, since I was using Apache::DBI, I lazily coded the DB methods - ie, connected and disconnected from the DB each time a DB call was made in the script, since I knew Apache::DBI would ignore that and keep the connection open.

    And since some of the cron strips would be running hundreds of DB querires, I wanted to keep that system in place for it, rather than rewriting the module to work well outside of mod_perl...
