in reply to mod_perl was hosed by a bind variable

Do you see as dramatic a different if you switch to using the
$query->execute($mailbox);
form? (A light read of DBI.pm suggests that it shouldn't, but it might be an interesting experiment.)

    Wow, what a coincidence! While waiting for some responses I was leafing through an old copy of "Writing CGI Applications with Perl" and saw that is how they did it: $query->execute($mailbox);

    So I tested that before I even saw your question :-)

    And no, it wasn't any faster than using the bind_param call...
