I've made some changes which allow this module to
be used in situations where scripts mess with common and database handle
attributes. Each connection can be made and get defaults for such
attributes modulo any changes that are made in the connect call.
This module is very useful in situations where a
web application wishes to use database security. In this situation, the
current Apache::DBI on CPAN quickly runs into scaling problems as it attempts to
maintain many, many connections.
I would like input on whether people think it would
be better to distribute this in the future as Apache::DBIReauth or somehow meld
this with the existing Apache::DBI with some configuration options as to which
kind of caching to use.
Please let me know what you think!
