I have a program that will run literally for days and days. It monitors logs by file tail. Problem is that I think the DBI is causing problems. It is constantly connecting and reconnecting to DB2 for every transaction.
What I would like to do is block the subroutine and check the DBI connection for being 'valid' still and then if it is not valid, reconnect, sleep then try again for N times then give up entirely issuing message to support. I saw mention of a state variable but this not on the connection. Any help to make this work would be appreciated. Thanks Ken
