Persistent DB Connection problem

[Albert Vila]

Hi all,

I'm having problems setting up the apache + mod_perl + Apache::DBI in 
order to get persistent db connections.

I've added the following line in my httpd.conf:
    PerlRequire /home/xxx/startup.pl

The startup.pl file contains:
   #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
   $ENV{MOD_PERL} or die "GATEWAY_INTERFACE not Perl!";

   use Apache::Registry;
   use Apache::DBI;
   use strict;

   # choose debug output: 0 = off, 1 = quiet, 2 = chatty
   $Apache::DBI::DEBUG = 2;


I've check using the Apache::Status if the

PERL_CHILD_INIT=1 PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=1 are enabled.

PerlChildInitHandler* Enabled
* PerlStackedHandlers* Enabled*


However, the persistent connections still does not work. The system 
creates a new db connection for earch child.

That's my error.log file (it contains 2 requests):

Any comments?
