What's the approved method for making radiusd open persistent connections to an arbitrary database, and then using these handles from a perl module?
Use static variables in the Perl code. This is really a Perl question.
I'm not sure if this is a wholly Perl question, unless I have misunderstood. I want radiusd to open the handles at startup, in the same way that it already opens its own handles. Then I think I have two options: 1. A module similar to the existing sql module that is capable of running custom queries, and that should be sufficient to do my authorization - no Perl needed. 2. A Perl module that is capable of using one from the pool of handles that radiusd has opened, and will do the query itself. Are either of these feasible? Thanks, Jonathan
