Dear List, This may be a stupid question... but anyway... I am using mod_perl with persisent database connections enabled via Apache::DBI. This works great, because most of the web site uses a "generic" user to connect to the database. However I do authentication via the database ( i.e : attempt a connection using supplied user/pwd and if so set a cookie and continue on using the generic user/pwd) , and these "once only" connections persist too. Thus after 100 folk have logged in there are 100 ( unused ) connections. I would like to have these authentication once only connection not persist. Is there any way to "by default" use persistent connections but on occasions not ? Thanks in advance for your help Mark
