Zombies with dbiproxy
Has anyone used dbiproxy extensively? I seem to be getting hundreds of
zombie Perl processes (until the proc table is full) after a while. I only
replaced my data source string with an equivalent dbi:Proxy:... string and
started dbiproxy. Is this a known bug, or is there something I should have
done differently?
I was trying to reduce the number of active postgres client processes
(Apache::DBI created too many) without while still avoiding the postgres
connect() overhead. It turned out that the latter was much less severe than
the performance problems caused by ~ 100 active postgres client processes,
so I stopped using Apache::DBI. Any other suggestions?
Regards,
Marinos

I have the same problem, only not with dbiproxy -- with another simple
Perl RPC server I built on the same modules that dbiproxy is built on.
It must be related to the PlServer (?) stuff, and not DBI directly...
Let me know if you figure out how to fix the problem...
