in thread Parallel::ForkManager and DBD::mysql, the easy way

Nicely documented. Aside from the use of clone() instead of connect() this is pretty much the other option I mentioned, using InactiveDestroy to disable disconnect() on parent handles in the kid. My experience with doing it this way was not great - inevitably something in a child process would stumble on a parent handle and either try to use it or disconnect it. Either will cause unpredictable mayhem, which is the very worst kind.

    Ya, you've got to keep track of your handles and where they're going to be used.
