A couple days ago, I posted a patch that fixed what I think is a real bug in Apache::DBI when a script uses more than one database handle:
http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl/stroblangnerm Basically, I removed $Idx as a file-scoped variable, because if a script used more than one database handle, the initial value of $Idx would get overwritten, and the first database handle would never get to the cleanup/rollback routine. Back in July 2003, Patrick Mulvany posted a more substantial patch that ensures that database handles get restored to their expected state if, for example, a script changes AutoCommit, and doesn't change it back: http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl/gripemneh With Patrick's patch, the next user of the database handle won't see the effects of the first script's fiddling with the AutoCommit property. Both patches are working well for me, and I was surprised to see no discussion of either on the mod_perl list. Patrick's patch needed a small change to work with mine, so I've taken the liberty of combining them in the attached file. I'm also cc'ing Ask, as I think this should be included in Apache::DBI. Of course, feedback from others is welcome. Thanks, Joe
