I am loading Apache::DBI module when the apache server starts.
I have
PerlModule Apache::DBI
in httpd.conf and

use Apache::DBI
in startup.pl

and my CGI script looks like this
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use DBI;
use CGI;
my $date1=time();
my $database="blabla";
my $hostname="blabla";
my $dbh;
$dbh =DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database:$hostname","user","his") or die "could not connect to the database:$dbh->errstr\n";
etc., etc.,

the program shows the required results.
So, that should take care of persistant connections ,right??
In other words the connect request would be taken care by Apache::DBI??


how do i check?? if yes
I tried using
$Apache::DBI::DEBUG=2;
and tailing error_log
i see
