ModPerl & Persistent Pools of DB Handles

this comes from Bowen Dwelle (bowen@HOTWIRED.COM)
####
# httpd.conf
PerlScript foo.pm
PerlHandler foo::handler
####

####
package foo
use Sybase::DBLib;

# don't init $dbh here, since that would happen _before_ apache forks,
# and the child processes _will not_ be able
# to share the single resulting database handle cleanly

sub handler {

# init $dbh here, since this happens _after_ apache forks,
# and each child process gets it own persistent database handle

$dbh = Sybase::DbLib->new(...) unless defined $dbh;

... do stuff with $dbh ...

}
