This means you've got a db handle before the thread was cloned (created by
the
connect_on_init - which connects when the process, not the thread, is
created). The handle can't be shared between the parent and child thread,
generating the above error.

If you are using multiple threads, then yes. (Though I'm not sure how
Apache::DBI's thread pool works with multiple threads, presumably it
provides
seperate pools for each thread, but I could be wrong there).

Ok, but I have seen an example in a tutorial where the database is accessed
with the username, and the password from a startup.pl file exactly like
this:
Apache::DBI->connect_on_init("DBI:mysql:database=presa;host=localhost",
"ODBC", undef, {PrintError =>1, RaiseError=>0, AutoCommit => 1});
In what situation can I access the database at the server startup?
I would like to preload the DBI module at the server startup and to be able
to create persistent connections in order to make them faster.
Thank you.
Teddy
