That's correct - from comments in Apache::DBI (version 0.94), the logic to handle mod_perl-2 hasn't been implemented yet (on any platform). This thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110426159200004&r=1&w=2 contains some previous discussion on this problem. There's an attempt in there at a patch to get it working on mp2, but that didn't work out (on Win32). > Does Win2K, Apache2, ActivePerl require a completely > different "set-up" for persistent database connections? In principle, Win32 doesn't require a different setup. However, the patch above didn't work on Win32 because of a problem with threads, which probably requires special treatment. > I read on > http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/design/design.html#TIPool > thatthis may be a replacement for persistent stuff.
