Hi All

I have the following setup
Apache 1.3.23
Mod_perl 1.26
Apache::DBI 0.88
AuthMySQL 2.20
Perl 5.6.0
MySQL 3.23.49
This all seems to work fine, except for one problem, which is the following:

I have and html page with a form which passes all its fields to a Perl CGI script . The perl script then does a connect to the MySQL database and adds all the fields. This works fine for the 1st 7 times, then on the 8th time the same values that were passed for the first connecion are passed again to the database.

What I have noticed in the logs is that the 1st seven invocations of the cgi script create a new PERSISTENT database connection thereafter they are reused maintaining all the previous variables that form passed to the perl script on first use.

All my variables in are local (declared with my)

Please help
Thanks
Paul
