Morning/Evening/Afternoon all

I have crafted an application in Catalyst using the Catalyst::Model::DBI model. The problem i am having is that if the mysql connection is lost, the connection is not automatically restablished. 

debug Connected to the database using DBIx::Connector via dsn:dbi:mysql:dbname=foo;host=127.0.0.1

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at /home/XXXXXX/Foo/script/../lib/Foo/Model/Bar.pm line 595.
DBD::mysql::db selectall_arrayref failed: MySQL server has gone away at /home/XXXXXX/Scamps/script/../lib/Foo/Model/Bar.pm line 454.
Curiously, using Catalyst::Model::DBIx::Connector solves the problem. Which is strange as both models use DBIx::Connector

Scouring through their respective code, its not obvious why this isnt being caight properly and handled in Catalyst::Model::DBI

The internals of DBIx::Connector override attempts to set mysql_auto_reconnect

I am seeing the same behaviour in both foo_server.pl and via mod_perl
