pre-spawning database connections[newbie]

[Ben Wrigley]

Hi All,   I'm a mod_perl newbie and just trying to understand a little more about the startup.pl files and prespawning databases.   I am using the connect_on_init routine in the startup.pl which is fine.   What I'm not sure is then how to use this most economically in my scripts.   It seems that in the scripts you should call the DBI->connect again, but that seems to be bypassing the connection I made at startup or am I misunderstanding completely.   Thanks for your help   Ben
