>> (my MaxRequestsPerChild is set to 30) The webhost uses iHTML for ecommerce thingies, and our experience with various boxes and server versions is that weird shit happens if iHTML isn't cleaned out regularly. This may not be the case (the last time we experienced a specific problem with hanging MySQL processes associated with iHTML was about a year ago) recently, we've yet to find time to adequately run more tests.
>Using a global for that is not such a good idea. Any value you put in >there will persist between requests. That is one common source of this Ignore this next question if too off-topic, then. How are other people handling user settings? For instance, LibDB::Settings determines a bunch of stuff for each and every request, depending on the user environment (script being run, the browser's AcceptLanguage, the user's chosen template, etc.). Since I want those values to be the same through all objects ($s1, $s2, $s3 should return the same setting value regardless whether it was changed by $s4), they're all stored in a global (to LibDB::Settings) %SETTINGS. How should I handle this from mod_perl's standpoint? >> What I'm seeing, with the same frequency as the above problem, >> is a warning that the object method ->connect can not be found. >> LibDB::DB->new returns a LibDB::DB::MySQL class (which itself >> uses DBI and DBD::mysql).

I'm not, but realize that it's never getting to the actual database connection: instead, it's telling me that the ->connect routine doesn't even exist in the (correct) module. -- Morbus Iff ( softcore vulcan pr0n rulezzzzz ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
