My question about the above approach is that I would still be creating a db connection everytime I need to use the db, right? In other words, if for one script instantiation I call two sub routines, test1 and test2 and they both use the db then they both will be creating two separate db connections, right? 
test1();
test2();
sub test1
{
 $dbh=new MyDBLayer;
$dbh->do(etc..);
}
sub test2
{
 $dbh=new MyDBLayer;
$dbh->do(etc..);
}

It is best to minimize the number of times you have to make a db connection right? If I do it this way though, I only make one db connection but use it in two subroutines. 
$dbh=new db connection;
test1($dbh);
test2($dbh);
sub test1
{
 
$dbh->do(etc..);
}
sub test2
{
 
$dbh->do(etc..);
}

Is it wrong to do it this way?
Thanks.
