No, because Apache::DBI turns it into a no-op. Apache::DBI is a very weird beast, with unanticipated action-at-a-distance issues that crop up here and there. It's crazy stuff like this that led me to abandon it -- at first for DBI->connect_cached (though I had to do some extra work to make sure it was safe), and more recently for DBIx::Connector, which does that extra work for me. Can you see what PIDs MySQL is accepting connections from? Are they the same as currently-running Apache processes? Or are (some of them) from dead Apache child processes? Best, David
