Hi mr. bunce,

I've an issue with programming DBI and could not find a solution in 
either your DBI slideshow: 
http://search.cpan.org/src/TIMB/DBI_AdvancedTalk_2004/index.htm
or your book <Programming the Perl DBI>;
was hoping you could provide some guidance:

I have a program that establishes a $dbh, but then forks multiple child 
processes, all of which use the same $dbh for queries and then terminate 
(the process).  I'd like to use the same $dbh connection handle for each 
child process but as soon as one child exits, the handle is lost. 

Is the best solution to use connect_cached?
