I hadn't noticed that until now. Except I also noticed this...
Note that the behaviour of this method differs in
several respects from the behaviour of the presistent
connections implemented by Apache::DBI.
Which scares me, but then doesn't go on to explain *what* those
"several respects" are. While I didn't pay anything for the
documentation *or* DBI, so I should be grateful, this is the kind of
sentence that any editor looking over *my* stuff would flag with a big
"?". :) Never leave the reader with a sense of puzzlement -- either
don't say anything, finish the thought, or tell them where to read
more.
So, Tim, what *are* the differences, and when should we should we
choose Apache::DBI vs DBI->connect_cached, and why?
