wize monks!

my scenario:
server#1 runs N instances of application.pl (just executeable perl files, not via apache/mod_perl)

during runtime application.pl connects to a mysql-database at server#2 and executes several INSERT statements.

this works well - as long as there are not many instances of application.pl running. but the load increases from time to time, which leads to a bottleneck because of the many connections.

upon my quest to reduce connection traffic i came up with the idea of sharing only one mysql connection between the applications (like Apache::DBI). But because i don't start the application via apache, httpd is not the mother-instance...

as far i found ResourcePool::Command::DBI::Execute, which i would like to serve to the application.pl instances in some way.

or do i need something like a deamon.pl to which the several application.pl can connect and write their insert-statements?
but how to keep the several requests seperated so that only one INSERT takes place at a time. like a buffer for several insert statements...

...hmmm...???...


can you enlighten an unworthy perl student with knowledge, please?!
