I implemented Apache::AuthCookieDBI for the logins to my web site. AuthCookieDBI requires Apache::DBI. This all works great. I have also started using embperl. This seems to work fairly good as well except it inherited the Apache::DBI from my AuthCookieDBI implementation. Now I get 6 database connections per apache process. Does anyone know a simple way for my embperl pages not to use Apache::DBI, or would it be easy for me to make AuthCookieDBI use the regular DBI module? Thanks, Woody
