But I can't help feeling I'm redesigning the wheel here - would I have the same
problem if I used Apache::DBI? Are there other easier ways to handle this?
IIRC, Apache::DBI just makes the connection persistant. It could still
time out and disconnect if a handle in the handle cache isn't used. AKA
the MySQL Morning bug.
It would likely make it more infrequent though.
I never remember which, but DBD and/or DBI document turning on the
auto_reconnect attribute.
