Do all apache childs create persistant mysql connections?

Hi. We are using Apache::DBI to connect mod_perl to mysql.   Suddenly (at about 21:00 GMT every day) the number of mysql processes spirals into chaos. From a stable 8 to 20 processes, it jumps up to 70 processes. This uses up all our 510MB RAM, swap-space gets used, and the system grinds to

Chances are you're running a different perl on the command line than mod_perl was built with. Try typing, perl -v, at the shell prompt to see what version it is. You could either rebuild mod_perl with the (probably) newer perl as runs from shell, or install GD under perl 5.6.0. Note that perl 5.
