Stas,
Thanks for your response.
I will try and keep up with the developments in the above-mentioned threads. However, for now, I'll focus on your alternate solution as mentioned below. If I find some free time (what are the chances?) I may also give DBI::Pool a try under mp2.
I've already tried it and it works ;) However DBI::Pool won't have a life on its own and will be integrated into DBI itself and its DBD drivers.

I'm happy to report that the patch to lib/Apache/compat.pm works. I did not even have to use CVS versions of any of the packages.
Apache/2.0.44 (Gentoo/Linux) mod_perl/1.99_08 Perl/v5.8.0
I simply patched:
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache2/Apache/compat.pm
with your patch and connect_on_init works unmodified. And as mentioned in your email, I do have Apache::compat loaded before Apache::DBI.
Great. I've already committed that patch.
Perhaps Ask could load 'Apache::compat' inside Apache::DBI if mp2 is used. Or to use the mp2 API if mp2 is used.
