You guys should just be using DBI->connect_cached then. It does
everything except the mod_perl cleanup handler.
Note that I still write a utility class that knows where to get the
database config and returns a connection, but I don't worry about doing
anything to keep the connection persistent or ping it, and that's what
Apache::DBI or DBI->connect_cached will take care of for you.
