Fellow monks,

I call upon your endless wisdom, for I have a very strange problem at hand.
It so seems that when running mod_perl with all the fancy Apache::DBI stuff in place, and boy (or girl) do I have to call the DBI (A mysql server in this case) a lot.

But now it seems my MySQL server is bored with me, and has gone and wander around a bit, because I keep getting this error message: 
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at /opt/perl
+-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux/Mysql.pm

I can agree with my SQL server to take a hike - cause it is lovely weather over here. I just don't want it to, because I need it.
Is there a monk in this vast monestary who could inform on how to keep your SQL server indoors...?

Sinister greetings.
