By default MySQL will *do the right thing* very slowly. It will actually close an inactive connection after 8 hours. Given that by default there are only 100 connections available it is quite easy to use them all up if you do not do a clean disconnect. You set the values in my.cnf BTW.
[mysqld]
set-variable=wait_timeout=28800
set-variable=max_connections=100
Cleanup is simple. All you need is an END block, ideally placed immediately after the connect (so you know it is there).
my $dbh = DBI->connect......
END{ $dbh->disconnect() if $dbh }

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
