I typically use them together.  Apache::DBI handles the persistence, and
the singleton provides easy access from any module that wants to use
it.  It also centralizes the db configuration in one spot.

I would caution anyone against rolling their own database handle
persistence system, using simple tricks with globals.  It's much better
to use DBI->connect_cached() if you are unable to use Apache::DBI for
some reason.
