Zombies with dbiproxy

Has anyone used dbiproxy extensively? I seem to be getting hundreds of zombie Perl processes (until the proc table is full) after a while. I only replaced my data source string with an equivalent dbi:Proxy:... string and started dbiproxy. Is this a known bug, or is there something I should have

The only way I really see this working is in a threading environment. First of all, for some databases database connections don't survive forking (Oracle is the notable example here). Also, even if we could get forking to work, we would still get the scaling problem we are trying to avoid.

I would second that. We've done this using SOAP. We have a DataSource::SOAP driver that acts as a lightweight interface to a Jakarta TomCat server for the DB stuff. We get the benefits of Perl on the front-end and Java DB Connection pooling logic/proxying on the middle tier. Of course I guess
