it definitely seems to be a leak, and i've been able to reproduce it
outside of mod_perl
it seems that there are a few potential sources / behaviors
a_ the statement handle created by a prepare never seems to expire
in the lifetime of a db connection
i could trace this as far back as
DBI::_new_handle
b_ if i connect, run 100 'update x where y=z' , then disconnect, no
SV are released
c_ if i then undef my db handle, a lot of SV are freed - but i seem
to have a 138 SV which are not released
d_ if i reconnect , i seem to use only 15 more SV than the original
connect- whereas the original connect used 231 SV over my test
platforms 'weight'
e_ if i undef the reconnect, I seem to have leaked 1 SV since the
first disconnect
unfortunately, thats as far as my DBI knowledge can take me
