Ok, I narrowed it down to the database connection initiated during server
startup. As soon as I remove it the errors vanish completely. But I don't
understand why this is causing a problem because Apache::DBI is supposed to not
cache connections made during server startup - it even correctly issues a
warning.
Here are some snippets to illustrate what I'm doing:
-----------------------------------
ApacheHandler.pm
-----------------------------------
use Apache::DBI;
{
package HTML::Mason::Commands;
use vars qw/ $thefoo /;
}
my $foo = My::Foo->new();
sub handler {
$HTML::Mason::Commands::thefoo = $foo;
}
-----------------------------------
My/Foo.pm
-----------------------------------
sub new {
my $dbh = My::Database::dbh();
my $result = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( ... );
# create an object of e.g. My::Bar initialized with row data
# and store it in $self. $dbh is never stored somewhere!
$dbh->disconnect();
}
-----------------------------------
My/Database.pm
-----------------------------------
use DBI;
sub dbh { DBI->connect( ... ) }
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
