Does this copy the handle when I pass it into the module?
sub somefunc {
my $newdbh = @_;
...
}
The reason I am asking is that we are connecting to an MSSQL database that
has a user limmit. As a result we are finding out selves running out of
logins. We are doing everything to keep the number of handles down.
Idealy, persistant handles would be the way to go.
