It sounds like you are using RPMs for mod_perl and the application you have is written for a specific version which is not the one on your Red Hat system.
Now, the question is How Can I *prove my Boss* and to myself that I have established mysql connection during httpd process start up....
Just read the documentation for Apache::DBI. It tells you how to turn on the DEBUG setting which will print what you need to the error_log.
1. I tried this, 2. I stopped mysql server 3. I Restarted httpd server, but surprizingly it came up without any problem
Connections are not made during the server startup, but rather when a child process is forked. You will probably find errors in the log from when it tried to fork a child.
