If you're running in Apache, call "use Apache::DBI" before calling "use DBI". The Apache::DBI module intercepts all DBI calls, and makes the connection persistent.	[reply]

`my $dbh = DBI->connect_cached(...);` [download] That gives you persistence. "Pooling", i.e. sharing between processes, is an unsolved problem, but doesn't matter for most applications since they can't do anything useful when they don't have a handle anyway.	[reply] [d/l]

Pooling", i.e. sharing between processes, is an unsolved problem Though Stas Bekman and Dean Arnold are working on DBI::Pool and DBIx::Threaded. See the dbi-dev archives for details.	[reply]

Have you tried google (I see something called Sql Relay)? And are you sure you want a pool of connections, or is Apache::DBI or connect_cached good enough?	[reply]
