I use Class::DBI to connect to several databases from within mod_perl. Occasionally a request will hang and there will be a slew of "attempt to free unreferenced scalar" messages in the error_log. I am assuming this is because of multiple processes connecting to multiple databases at the same time via a single database handle. I found this thread where Perrin H. shows how to overload db_Main: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/modperl/2203391 This shows how to only connect to a single database, so I modified it a bit so the subclass sets its connection info before the call to connect. Also, I use Class::DBI::mysql to facilitate setting up the object methods for me. I think that part works properly, but the server will not start. I think what is blowing up is when Class::DBI::mysql goes to load the table info. Here is the error I get: configuring DB interface at /usr/local/app/Application/Data.pm line 13. in my db_Main at /usr/local/app/Application/DBI.pm line 9. Syntax error on line 1230 of /usr/local/app/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Can't locate object method "fetch_hash" via package "DBI::st" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Class/DBI/mysql.pm line 65.
