Consider setting the DBI_TRACE environment variable if you're having problems such as this. It will show you where your connections are going up and down. Does your DBD driver support pings? If not you should check out the Apache::DBI docs for info on how to roll your own.. If you feel like recompiling perl on solaris you might want to review the following options used to build perl with gcc 2.95.3. Seems to work well for us...
