in thread to "use vars" or not to

Thanks again for the reply and link.

So to summarize, creating a global (via use vars) $dbh database handle in a module called from a forked child cannot impact another forked child because the child is a copy of the parent prior to the creation of the $dbh. ?

hopefully thats right ? cheers.

    Right. If the dbh was created before forking, that would be another story.
