Rudy,

Thank you very much - setting InactiveDestroy did the trick... I set it in the parent process...

I appologize for mistakenly thinking this was a bug :)

Thank you,

Rudy,

Regardless of whether i pass the database connection to the child or not the database connection is still corrupted somehow...

I don't follow here. How do you not pass the database connection to the child?

In my example, the child is doing absolutely nothing but spawning and exiting. No database operations are performed... Nor have i passed the $dbh to the child. Yet still, after spawning the child, the database connection no longer functions for the parent.

You still need to set InactiveDestroy in the child (did I say parrent before :) ) because when the child exists it will destroy its copy of the $dbh and close the connection to the database.
