Thanks for the advice...

I was using Apache::DBI originally and prob took it out for all the wrong reasons...

I use my own database object to hold 2 connections to 2 different databases, live and readonly, I put a warn statement in my database object and the logs went nuts when I restart apache, for example:

20 modules, each with 10 methods, each of which needs a dbh, starting 100 instances of apache means 20,000 connections! :-/

I used a global db object for each module so that each method only connected unless it was already connected (with the global dbh)

I don't want to pass in 1 dbh from each handler since the handler shouldn't know where the objects are getting their data.

No doubt I missed another possible approach?

The other strange behaviour was a query that selected 3 rows from a table, putting warn statements in showed that i was passing the correct things to the sth->execute() that would work, but occassionaly $sth->fetchrow_hashref() returned { '1' => 1 }.
