Could you elaborate on this?
I'm a bit unclear:
are you suggesting
a) the tie be global pre-fork
b) the tie be post-fork
c) there be no tie whatsoever , and somehow a connection is made
using the API at the beginning , and everything just uses the library/
api methods
?
my understanding of the bdb integration w/modperl, thanks to bits &
pieces from perrin over the years , is that bdb takes care of its own
locking / access & pools a bunch of shared memory
that said, it seems that in order to keep the shared memory around,
you'd need to start some connection pre-fork. the child-init stuff
suggests that there are multiple post-fork connections though. so
i'm a bit lost.
thanks
