Indeed, always write your code as if Apache::DBI isn't
there (Apache Modules with Perl and C or Practical
Modperl). If you don't, it puts you in a bind if
Apache:DBI isn't there. If Apache::DBI is there it
overrides DBI so the calls to connect do nothing if a
connection already exists except return the
connection.
So just load Apache::DBI at startup and write "use
DBI" in all your scripts.
