oh, sorry - I didn't mean it like that :) what I meant was that I'm not really running production sites anymore, so I'm more and more out of touch with Apache::DBI and the specifics of its implementation/interaction since, say 5.6.0/0.88. I'd definitely use Apache::DBI if I did that kind of thing, though :) but the connection cache mechanism has always seemed rather funky - when we were writing about Apache::DBI for the cookbook, I remember some issues between Win32 and linux that randy and I were having when it came to emulating the connect-string cache. this is what leads me to believe that Apache::DBI (at least as it existed then) relied on non-random hash behavior. but I can't say for sure without looking at the current version, which I haven't in a while. --Geoff -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
