I am attempting to use CGI::Application for the development of a base web application that I'll be able to use for several clients. Right now I'm at the prototype stage. Having started with code based on the docs, I am having a problem with the startup code that requests a DBI connection handle: 
use base 'CGI::Application';
use strict;

sub setup
{
  my $Self = shift;
  ...
  $Self->param ( 'mydbh' => DBI->connect ( ... ) );
}

This results in a 
Issuing rollback() for database handle being DESTROY'd without explici
+t disconnect()

[download]
error in the web log. I can see why it's complaining -- I've allocated a database handle that appears to be going out of scope with the appropriate disconnect. Of course, it only appears to be going out of scope .. I'm saving the handle in the Web Application object and will use it properly (including disconnecting at the appropriate time).

How can I soothe Perl and/or correct my mistake? Help would be appreciated.
