Is that using DBI->connect or Apache::DBI->connect . . . My understanding is that using Apache::DBI pretty much overrides the functionality of DBI->connect and returns an existing database handle if it exists (based on parameters passed to method). I want to be able to return a cached database handle from a method unless a certain argument is passed. If this argument is present I would like to return an independent database handle for perhaps performing transactions.
