in reply to DBI InactiveDestroy problem

The DBI perldoc states "Note that some databases, including Oracle, don’t support passing a database connection across a fork." Could that be the problem?

    I'm not trying to use the parent's $dbh in the child process. My child process will (in the final program) connect to the database itself, if need be. What I don't want to happen is have the parent's $dbh connection be closed when the child process finishes. The InactiveDestroy attribute is supposed to help here but it does not seem to.
