Apache::DBI->connect_on_init in BEGIN?

[svante sörmark]

hi all,

what i'd like to do is "pre-initialize" my DBI connections from whithin
my PerlHandler's BEGIN block. 

something like this:
BEGIN {
        if ( Apache->dir_config('CONNECT_ON_INIT') {
                Apache::DBI->connect_on_init(Apache->dir_config('DBI_INFO');
        }
}

but of course the Apache* stuff isn't available at this stage...

does anyone have a clever solution to this? i've resorted to `grep`ing 
httpd.conf for the DBI_INFO string, but that is sooo ugly.

thanks.
