First of all, you never need to do "or die ..." with DBIx::Class operations, since they always throw exceptions on error. Sencondly, DBIx::Class only hits the database when it absolutely has to, e.g. to fetch restults. This includes the initial connection. However, you can force it to connect early by calling $schema->storage->ensure_connected; Which will throw an exception if it fails to connect. -- "The surreality of the universe tends towards a maximum" -- Skud's Law "Never formulate a law or axiom that you're not prepared to live with the consequences of." -- Skud's Meta-Law _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.grokbase.com/group/dbix-class@lists.scsys.co.uk
