Once you reconnect, the connection is persistent again. At least,

This is exactly what I've been thinking to do, but I've not seen
anything within Apache::DBI that allows me to reconnect per se. How do
I perform that action?
Also, forgive this question if it seems a little obtuse, but in the
startup.pl file, I do something like this:
Apache::DBI->connect_on_init(...)
My experience with Apache::DBI has been that it needs no special setup.
All I've ever done is:
my $dbh;
$cnt = 0;
while(!$dbh) {
eval {
$dbh = DBI->connect(....);
};
if($@) {
warn("DB Down: $@");
sleep 5;
$cnt++;
}
last if $cnt > 3;
}
unless($dbh) {
# show user an error page
}
