Re^3: Preventing database handles from going stale

Have the child set $dbh->{InactiveDestroy} = 1; and then undef the $dbh. That should keep it from disconnecting the parent's connection. After that, you'll just have to fix the END block so it doesn't try to call disconnect on an undefined value.

END {
  $dbh->disconnect if $dbh;
}
