While the short answer to this is no, I get the impression (based on the wording of your question) that there's some underlying assumption you're making that may be wrong. If you have code like:

$DBIx_Connector_object->run(...)

DBIx::Connector may need to reconnect. It doesn't keep a count of how many times it's encountered this situation nor does it keep track of how long it's spent doing this. You won't get an error saying something like: "Sorry, that's the nth time I've encountered run() and needed to reconnect so I won't be trying on this or any subsequent occasions."

DBIx::Connector uses DBI's connect() method with the same arguments you pass to new(), i.e.

DBIx::Connector->new($dsn, $username, $password, { %attributes })

So, if you're familiar with DBI, the actual process of connecting is the same as you're used to.

See Connection Modes, in the DBIx::Connector documentation, for information on when connection checks are made and how reconnecting (and possibly code re-execution) is handled.
