What's the difference between DBI->connect vs $drh->connect? The $drh there is a DBI driver, not a database handle. It should return a new connection every time. You can try putting in DBI->connect() there and see if it fixes the problem for you though. If not, I'd suggest reporting the problem as a DBD::Oracle issue. By the way, which Oracle pooling solution are you using and how is it working out for you, aside from this problem? - Perrin
