Well I have wasted so much time recently, some of it spent trying to work out
what DBI was doing. However, that was my lack of knowledge, although I'm still
not convinced my tests don't now pass by luck. I'm also using a 7.2.3 server
not 7.3 yet and it's not using the mod_perl persistent connection stuff.
So in short, I'm not surprised you're having problems but unfortunately I can't
say I experienced the same problem. Perhaps you could give a small test case
that shows the problem as I'm sure DBI must have been tested against 7.3.
