    Hey All,

    Using DBI 1.41 and DBD::Pg 1.32 with mod_perl 1.29.0.2 and I get a
    strange situation.

    When I'm using a DB handle that ends in an error condtion, the next
    time my mod_perl script calls connect_cached() if I check $DBI::err it
    is still set to the last error that happend - not any error that
    happened during the connect_cached() call - this leads to my connect
    script thinking it got an error during the connect call, which isn't
    true.

    Do I need to be manually cleaning up DBI somehow? Or is this a bug?

    Cheers,
    jas.
