my $sth = $dbh->prepare_cached($statement) || try_again();
That won't do what you think it does. The error is occuring on the execute, not the prepare. And prepare_cached will just return the previously prepared statement handle (which, assuming the database changed, will now be an invalid handle, but a handle nonetheless), and your try_again() will not be called.
What the OP might want to do, if caching the statement handle is worth the trouble, is cache the handle himself without using prepare_cached, and re-prepare it if it fails on the execute.
Or use prepare_cached, and if the execute fails, look at the hash ref returned by the CachedKids dbh attribute, delete the statement handle from that, and re-prepare.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
