I'm getting some really strange errors. I have a CGI::Application subclass that is a superclass for other, more specific CGI::App's. After a large number of tests (page reloads, etc.), I'll get an interal service error with the following log: 
DBI connect('database','username',...) failed: Too many connections

Here is the relavent code in the class: 
sub cgiapp_init {
    my $self = shift;

    # ...some unrelated code...

    my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:database', 'user', 'password',
                            { RaiseError => 1 } ) or die $DBI::errstr;

    # ...more code...

    $self->param('dbh' => $dbh);
}

sub teardown {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->param('dbh')->disconnect() or die $self->param('dbh')->errs
+tr;
}

The subclasses do not redefine cgiapp_init or teardown, and I can die in the teardown method, so I know it's getting to it. But apparently it's not disconnecting for some reason, unless somebody has any ideas on where else the problem might be. I've tried this with and without Apache::DBI.
