But isn't there a problem with making db connections from startup.pl? When the processes later fork, you potentially wind up with database

Particularly with Class::DBI::mysql, just loading a class makes a database connection. Is there a safe way to make database connections from startup.pl and not have it blow up?
Not if you use PerlChildInitHandler to open the actual connection, like Apache::DBI does:
