You should not have to start up a second DBI connection. All that should be required is as follows:
# set DB and SQL values as necessary
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect "$DB_SERVER:$DB_NAME;$DB_HOST") or die "Can't conn
+ect to $DB_NAME, error ";
$sth = $ccmd_auth::dbh->prepare($sql) or die "Can't prepare $sql: $dbh
+->errstr\n";
$sth->execute;
$sth->finish;
After the $sth is 'finished', you should be able to prepare and use $sth again in other queries.
One thing I noticed in your code is that you refer to a $dbh2 when you set up your second $sth. Is this for a connection to a second database? Otherwise it should use the same $dbh that was originally set up. This may be what is causing your problem.

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).
