That is certainly good news! I now also tweaked Apache::DBI to include a menu item for Apache2::Status (instead of Apache::Status) and my DB connection is listed indeed. Great! After going through all this, I did an ApacheBench with/without Apache::DBI being used (1000 requests, 10 concurrent), and it turned out that Apache::DBI is actually slowing down delivery from 13 requests/second to 7.78 (on my local test machine). Oh my. Thanks for all your help, Jan -- Unix is user friendly - it's just picky about it's friends.
