Good day monks, I have a script that at some point attempts to do something in the spirit of: 
use DBI;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $db = DBI->connect(qq/dbi:SQLite:dbname=test/);

my $pid = fork();

$db->do("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS foo");

waitpid($pid,0);
$db->disconnect;

Basically it is a script that creates a database handler. Then, at some point, after testing several conditions it might fork. After forking, it will attempt to access the database, but I get an error. It warns me that the handle number x is owned by the thread y, not current z thread, and handles can't be shared. Then it suggests me that somehow performing a clone on the db handler will somehow, magically solve my problem. I have tried using clone on several ways, but I don't have too much experience with fork. In fact, this is the first time I am using it, to avoid enclosing half of my script in a loop that will only execute two times. I appreciate all the help you can give me.
