hi!
maybe you should check the ResourcePool::Factory::Net::LDAP module. one of
it's side effects is that it holds persistent connections. it does also clean
up broken connections. things like failover and loadbalancing can be done
with the ResourcePool::LoadBalancer.
the only drawback is that it isn't transparent like Apache::DBI.
