Hi Ben, Do you use Apache::DBI? I mean yes because you're using connect_on_init.
Apache::DBI do not really close your DBI connection. You will get the same connection with the same connection parameters, when you call DBI->connect. All connections are cached by Apache::DBI. Yes, you should call DBI->connect. Each sub process will get it's own connections. Regards Sven.
