Even after all of this I am still confused as to how you get a global
$dbh in a component without actually connecting in the component. Are
$HTML::Mason::Commands::dbh and connect_on_init used in conjunction
or do they exclude one another?

Is there another way to get a $dbh per process without using an
autohandler or is this the standard method? If only the connect_on_init
is specified in httpd.conf, how do you get a reference to a db handle
other than the traditional my $dbh = DBI->connect(..) in the component?

Cheers,
Zach Thompson
