Pool de conexões Perl

Não tenho experiência com DBIx::Connection, mas uso DBIx::Connector (essencialmente o que DBIx::Class usa internamente, mas embutido) e é maravilhoso...

Eu agrupo essas conexões com um wrapper de objeto Moose que devolve instâncias de objetos existentes se os parâmetros de conexão forem idênticos (isso funcionaria da mesma forma para qualquer objeto de banco de dados subjacente):

package MyApp::Factory::DatabaseConnection;
use strict;
use warnings;

use Moose;

# table of database name -> connection objects
has connection_pool => (
    is => 'ro', isa => 'HashRef[DBIx::Connector]',
    traits  => ['Hash'],
    handles => {
        has_pooled_connection => 'exists',
        get_pooled_connection => 'get',
        save_pooled_connection => 'set',
    },
    default => sub { {} },
);

sub get_connection
{
    my ($self, %options) = @_;

    # some application-specific parsing of %options here...

    my $obj;
    if ($options{reuse})
    {
        # extract the last-allocated connection for this database and pass it
        # back, if there is one.
        $obj = $self->get_pooled_connection($options{database});
    }

    if (not $obj or not $obj->connected)
    {
        # look up connection info based on requested database name
        my ($dsn, $username, $password) = $self->get_connection_info($options{database});
        $obj = DBIx::Connector->new($dsn, $username, $password);

        return unless $obj;

        # Save this connection for later reuse, possibly replacing an earlier
        # saved connection (this latest one has the highest chance of being in
        # the same pid as a subsequent request).
        $self->save_pooled_connection($options{database}, $obj) unless $options{nosave};
    }

    return $obj;
}
