Get this, all it takes to release the connection (since PQfinish() doesn't
work and there isn't any Pg::disconnectdb() )
is to set the your handle to null !!
PERL's garbage collection picks it up and voila! no extra processes
hanging in memory.
so if you do this:
$DBNAME = 'template1';
$SQLCONNECT = "dbname = " . $DBNAME;
$SQL = Pg::connectdb($SQLCONNECT);
you can simply do this:
$SQL = null;
otherwise Apache/modperl holds onto the connection and the number of
postmaster tasks in memory grows
