Are you using Apache::DBI anywhere? Make sure. Have you verified that the disconnect really gets called? You can turn DBI tracing on to find out what's happening. I would suggest that you might be trapping a copy of your $dbh in a closure or a global, but that shouldn't matter if you actually call disconnect() on it. > We tried placing the connect strings in startup.PL Don't do that! Opening database connections before the server forks will wreak havoc when multiple processes try to use the same socket. - Perrin -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
