Yes I know that is supposed to happen. Truth be known this is really more of a mod_perl problem, but it actually applies to any long running perl process that has within it code in the form sub { my $dbh = DBI->connect.... }. Under mod_perl for example the combination of lazy garbage collection and ongoing runtime mean the DESTROY and END blocks (respectively) never get called. It was a real problem we had porting to mod_perl which is why I mention it.
