I've noticed this too, and it has *seriosly* damaged any credibility I 
might have gained with the admin I'm up against who is a major PHP 
proponent, and who refused to even think about installing mod_perl to 
help the script along after he saw this. :/

Re: DBI 1.15+ establishes multiple connections under parent mod_perl process

2001-11-02 Thread Eric Kolve

I have traced it back to prepare_cached() (at least that is what I
notice).  

Scott, try replacing your calls on startup with prepare() instead of
prepare_cached().

I was also able to eliminate the problem if I commented out the
following line in DBI.pm

 # $dbh-STORE('CachedKids', $cache = {}) unless $cache;   # line 1021
sub prepare_cached


Of course this is not a solution, but it may give someone else with more
knowledge enough to fix the problem. I will keep digging for answers.

Re: DBI 1.15+ establishes multiple connections under parent mod_perl process

2001-11-02 Thread Tim Bunce

But prepare_cached/prepare has nothing to do with multiple connections.

There were connect() changes made between DBI 1.14 and 1.15 but I'd need
people to look into it for me. Should be trivial to debug by enabling
DBI tracing and Apache::DBi debug.

Tim.

no, I'm using prepare(). an earlier post thread of mine (php vs perl) 
has a copy of the script I'm running in it.

 I was also able to eliminate the problem if I commented out the
 following line in DBI.pm
 
  # $dbh-STORE('CachedKids', $cache = {}) unless $cache;   # line 1021
 sub prepare_cached

I haven't tried this though

Unless your admin refuses to run any of the mod_perl and Apache::DBI 
stuff compiled in, because he's a php freak and thinks mod_perl is a 
resource pig. :\
