It sorts the keys, so it should have no problems with the new randomized order. DBI->connect_cached() is fine, except that it doesn't do the automatic rollback cleanup handler, which can save your bacon if you have something that dies in the middle of a transaction. I have considered rewriting Apache::DBI to be just this one addition, and leave the caching to DBI->connect_cached. It would need to have a new name, since DBI has hardcoded stuff to look for the package "Apache::DBI". - Perrin -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
