[Catalyst-dev] Bug in Catalyst::Model::DBI .15

[Evan Carroll]

M::DBI has a pretty sizable bug in as is such that it will establish a
new DBI handle on every incoming connection. This is a problem for
speed, and transactions as it makes it much more difficult to share
$dbh across other models, or to wrap them. I'm very surprised this
went for such a long time undiscovered. This one line caused a lot of
grief.

Thanks goes to >nothingmuch for all his help in first blaming the
problem totally on my style, and then later totally on M::DBI.
