This would be a good try. If Apache::DBI is loaded first, it will cache
connections and create a new one only if there isn't an existing connection
for the particular combination of connection arguments. More details should
available in the Apache::DBI perldoc.
You definitely want to go with a `use vars' for $dbh if it can't be localized
to a subroutine. But then, I haven't done Apache::Registry scripts for so
long, I can't remember for sure (most of my code now is modules). You might
want to check out the mod_perl Guide on that one.
