Slightly off-topic

I have a need to access information in another database simultaneously
to the , so I cloned RT::Handle.pm into my own RTx::FooBar::Handle
that access the other database. Now I’m testing this on my Linux box
and everything is running fine, but I copied it over to my MacBook Pro
in order to demo it to a client, but Postgres is complaining that it’s
running out of database handles. So I added a DESTROY method to my
RTx::FooBar::Handle that does a $self->dbh->disconnect. I stuck a
call to $RT::Logger->debug in that DESTROY method just to make sure.
On the Linux box, it’s definitely getting called and the debug is
printing out, but I wasn’t running out of handles there so I don’t
know if that’s helping matters. On the Mac, either it’s not getting
called or the logger isn’t working, and it’s running out of handles
still. Any suggestions?

Maybe PostgreSQL: PostgreSQL Mailing Lists: pgsql-general could be helpful?
Maybe not. It isn’t clear to me what exactly you mean by “Postgres
complaining that it’s running out of database handles” as that doesn’t
sound much like any complaint I’ve seen from Postgres.

It may be relevant that the MacOS Perl environment is rather lame by
default, so if you haven’t built an alternative Perl environment you may
be working with some Perl modules that are outdated or have been given
some special Apple touch so that they aren’t quite like they should be.
