Nothing, except:

[Tue May 22 00:44:37 2001] nul: DBI->connect failed: Can't connect to MySQL
server on 'localhost' (10061) at e:/pad/htdocs/internet/system/frontpage.cgi
line 29
[Tue May 22 00:44:37 2001] [error] Can't connect to MySQL server on
'localhost' (10061) at e:/pad/htdocs/internet/system/frontpage.cgi line 29.

:: Can you get a DB connection with regular CGI?

Yes, no problem at all with regular CGI.  But I already like the massive
speed increase I've seen under mod_perl and don't want to lose it.

If I comment out the DBI code the rest of the script works fine.  I have
test the MOD_PERL environment string and mod_perl is definitely running
okay.
