I assume you're calling DBI->connect() to get the handle in the HeaderParser phase, and using Apache::DBI? The dangerous thing is to put a DBI handle in a global and just keep using it on every request. If you put a DBI handle in a global (or a closure variable) make sure you clean it up at the end of every request. - Perrin
