Actually, if you're already using Apache::DBI I'd recommend dumping it 
and seeing if that fixes the problem; it does all sorts of silly magic 
that breaks spectacularly on edge cases.

Apache::DBI is fine if you always call DBI->connect yourself and don't 
persist a $dbh anywhere. If not, it's almost-certain-death. Don't risk it.
