in thread Why was it neccessary to pass a DBI handler by reference?

I don't think that happened, because if I somehow managed to dereference it, the first method I tried to call on it would give an error. I also couldn't have fixed the problem by adding the reference and an extra dereference (which I failed to mention having done), because there would still have been the double dereference.
