A CPAN search for "database pool" yielded ResourcePool. I haven't tried it yet, and even though the module seems to be written with mod_perl in mind, the docs do mention that it is "useful in stand alone perl applications." Looks like it is worth a test run. You might want to start your RTFM'ing at ResourcePool::BigPicture. jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply]

You should simply use DBI's built-in connect_cached() call instead of connect().	[reply]

You're always free to roll your own version of Apache::DBI. BTW, Apache::DBI does not create pooled connections, but it does create persistent connections.	[reply]
