Re: [Lxr-dev] DB only opened, never closed?

I must admit that I am not 100% familiar with all the mod_perl
details. What you are saying makes sense to me. If we previously
created a connection to the database for each invocation we must clean
up as I have implemented now. The correct solution seems to be what
you are proposing. I don't know how, but there must be some way to
do initialization at server thread startup.

Another problem, which I do not know how to solve, is that of the
libpath issue. I don't understand why the modules are not found, but I
think it is a rather important problem to fix.

Malcolm: can you fix so that messages from pk...@ne... goes through
to the mailing list?
