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 persistent connection is one per child process so I don't know if your test is correct. Try instead to write a quick perl script that connects to the database, disconnects and connects/disconnects again.
That should definitely result in a persistent connection being used again. Make sense? Regards,KAM
