Alternatively, you may have kept the same database handle open across a fork call, which this mentions as the source of problems, so don't do that either.
So, this may partly be just my ignorance. I am assuming that Apache2 is the forking server here. After all, it spawns little children to manage the web queries.
I am not sure how things work under a mod_perl (or even a fastcgi) kind of persistent perl environment under Apache2. I am assuming that my entire application is compiled and loaded when the server starts. At this point, a db handle is not created. Then, a user queries, which causes a db handle to be created. Since I don't want a new db handle created for subsequent queries by the same user, I reuse the db handle. And, I don't disconnect the db handle, because, if I do, then subsequent queries will fail. How do I ensure that a persistent, unique db handle is created for each user to my web site?

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).
