Dear Monks,

I'm trying to call a stored procedure in an Oracle database multiple times and have them run in parallel using Parallel::ForkManager. To do so, I've created multiple database and statement handles that will be called one at a time within the parallel loop based on the loop counter value. However, I continue to receive multiple instances of the following error each time I run the program:

DBD::Oracle::db do failed: handle 2 is owned by thread 158fe8 not current thread 3c30cb8 (handles can't be shared between threads and your driver may need a CLONE method added) at test6.pl line ...

The code is below. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help!

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Parallel::ForkManager;
use DBI;
use strict;

my $dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:dbname","username","password",{RaiseE
+rror => 1 , PrintError => 0});
my $dbh1=DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:dbname","username","password",{Raise
+Error => 1 , PrintError => 0});
my $dbh2=DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:dbname","username","password",{Raise
+Error => 1 , PrintError => 0});
my $dbh3=DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:dbname","username","password",{Raise
+Error => 1 , PrintError => 0});

my ($sth1, $sth2, $sth3);         # statement handles

my @num_array = ("1", "2", "3");
my $mid = $#num_array;

my $t = localtime();
    
my $pm = new Parallel::ForkManager($mid + 1);

    $pm->finish;                ## End of parallel process.
