Hello,=20

I am a little bit of a novice at Perl so pardon some of the things which =
are obvious.

I am trying to create a connection pool for a perl script. A pool which =
would hold open connections (lets say 100) to a database or a webserver =
and reuse them to make this efficient. Common problem. I would like to =
know what would be a good way to do this ?

I would need shared memory and some kind of synchronization mechanism to =
access the pool data structure.=20

I looked a little into mod_perl and also into using one of the Shareable =
or ShareLite modules.=20
Would anyone have any suggestions on this as to what would be a better =
choice ?

thanks,=20
