Alternatively you could use the DBIWrapper module I maintain
(http://dbiwrapper.sf.net/) to make your connection to the database.
When the object you instantiated goes out of scope I automatically close
the connection to the database and cleanup.  It currently only supports
MySQL, PostgreSQL and ODBC DBI modules.
