Preestablish database connection during httpd process startup--HOWTO??

[KartheeK]

Hello Everybody, 
I am Using a Trouble ticketing System- OTRS it is running on mod_perl, I am trying to configure " Preestablish datababase connections" During httpd process startup: 
I have configured the "apache2-perl-startup.pl" as follows:
====================================
use Apache ();
use Apache::DBI ();
Apache::DBI->connect_on_init('DBI:mysql:otrs::localhost',"otrs","hot");
use DBI ();
use DBD::mysql ();
====================================
But, on doing this my httpd server doesn’t start and I get the following error:

****************ERROR---1*******************************
Can't locate Apache.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/otrs/Kernel/cpan-lib /opt/otrs/ /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-mult i /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 . /etc/httpd) at /opt/otrs/scripts/apache2-perl-startup.pl line 22.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/otrs/scripts/apache2-perl-startup.pl line 22.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 1.\n

Therefore I Included the file Apache.pm
From:
“/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBI/ProfileDumper/Apache.pm”
To: “/opt/otrs”

Now, I get another Error

*******************ERROR---2******************
However,
====================================
#use Apache ();
#use Apache::DBI ();
#Apache::DBI->connect_on_init('DBI:mysql:otrs::localhost',"otrs","hot");
use DBI ();
use DBD::mysql ();
====================================
Works without any problem.

Am I wrong in the configuration?? Anybody with success in this?
