I would like to build a server which should provide persistent environment per client.
Clients should be able to connect and disconnect from server but server should maintain DBI database handles and query statement handles for each client.
OO book only suggest serialization of objects but that approach wouldn't work with objects which have open sockets/filehandles. Can apache/mod_perl provide a solution for such problem? I'm long time perl user and would be happy if perl can do the magic, but I'm open to other solutions too.
