Hmm... If you use $main::dbh everywhere (instead of $dbh = DBI->conn...), it should work, but this is considered bad form. Since $main:: is local to the Apache process, it's technically global, and that's bad. I'd suggest changing your code (as we did for our site) to pass $dbh around to each method and object.
