However, whenever I try to run it via mod_perl, it appears that the DBI responses are being cached in a mod_perl thread (or whatever it uses). This is a bad thing. FWIW, using (or not using) Apache::DBI doesn't make a difference.

This "Bad Thing" (which it is not) comes forth from not using strict, and more directly from using global variables. With mod_perl, global variables are persistent for the interpreter is embedded in Apache itself and will not exit until Apache exits. When programming for mod_perl, ALWAYS use strict! (Actually, remove "When programming for mod_perl, " and just always use strict.)

You can't get away with sloppy programming in mod_perl. Find more information about mod_perl before doing anything with it, as incorrect use may fry your Apache.
