in reply to Creating new database handles with mod_perl

Consider DBIx::Connector.   Very handy.   Instead of trying to guarantee that a database handle won’t drop off-line, cover for it.

    It wasn't the dropping of connections that was the issue. It was confirming that the connections were done correctly and were different. From the feedback, I think now it is being done correctly even though $dbh handles have the same address. ab stress tests confirm this by passing after all the documented steps for Apache::DBI were followed.
