Umm, "problems with DBI dropping connections" isn't much to go on :) I'd expect more spectacular problems if malloc mismatch was the cause. I think it is generally recommended to use the system malloc on Solaris. If you want to try the perl one then try it with and without the 'hide my malloc' option. Tim.
