I just filed an RT ticket with DBIx::Class for this asking for some
details on why it is necessary. Hoping that they'll be willing to
share some of their technical concerns. I'm not sure why this code
isn't working in my environment, but it could be because I have
Apache::DBI setup differently than they do.

It seems like you are looking for a more feature rich db connection
caching module as opposed to a drop in module for mod_perl. For most
mod_perl users, Apache::DBI provides a performance improvement with Pg
and Oracle for just a few lines in your startup.pl.
