Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
I don't want to cache some handles to a particular database in a script that uses Apache::DBI for other connections. Is it possible to force a disconnect on certain handles?

Will something like $dbh->SUPER::disconnect do it?

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    A method for doing this is described here and in the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook published by Sams.

    That ought to do it, but you have to remember to cleanout Apache::DBI's internal cache.
