You can disable Apache::DBI database handle persistence on the fly
by changing DBI->connect() to the undocumented 5 parameter call
$dbh = DBI->connect($dbase, $user, $pass, \%attr,
undef, "connect") || die $DBI::errstr;
This will override the default Apache::DBI behavior of caching new
connections without affecting those previously cached
Does that do it?
