jimbus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

I've got a hand full of scripts running in cron on a sun box that basically process log files and insert the digested data into mysql. Things appear to work flawlessly when I run them by hand, but when left alone as cron scripts, I end up with 90 some processes and issues accessing the data in my web app because all connections are used up... Apparently, I'm not all that and a bag of chips :(

Have you guys got any pointers for DBI or cron script best practices?

Thanks,

Jimbus
