Sorry to miss the point. This sored database handle object will be used in other script. i.e. it should be persistent for another script.

Why you want this? May be you better think about separating connection code in a module?

For persistent database connections, I think you should take a look at using mod_perl or FastCGI, along with something like Apache::DBI. Regular scripts will close the database connection when they exit. I don't think there's anyway to avoid that.
