Fast, safe DBI connection and transaction management

DBIx::Connector provides a simple interface for fast and safe DBI connection and transaction management. Connecting to a database can be expensive; you don't want your application to re-connect every time you need to run a query. The efficient thing to do is to hang on to a database handle to maintain a connection to the database in order to minimize that overhead. DBIx::Connector lets you do that without having to worry about dropped or corrupted connections. You might be familiar with Apache::DBI and with the DBI's 'connect_cached()' constructor. DBIx::Connector serves a similar need, but does a much better job. How is it different? I'm glad you asked!
