It can't, unless your database specifically supports the command "reauthenticate". Oracle does, which is what he wrote this for, but I don't think it's a standard part of SQL syntax so it will probably not work with MySQL. Of course MySQL connects really quickly, so you can probably get perfectly good performance without using Apache::DBI at all. - Perrin
