yes. from DBI.pm:
# check if user wants a persistent database connection ( Apache + mod_perl )
if ($INC{'Apache/DBI.pm'} && $ENV{MOD_PERL}) {
$DBI::connect_via = "Apache::DBI::connect";
DBI->trace_msg("DBI connect via $DBI::connect_via in
$INC{'Apache/DBI.pm'}\n");
}
which is why you need to load Apache::DBI before you load DBI in your
startup.pl or whatever.
