OK, that's a useful feature to have. Perhaps also when you do DBI.connect
you could 'ping' an existing connection to ensure it is still alive, and if
not, reconnect.

I don't think that all DBI exceptions should cause a disconnection - but an
explicit disconnect, or an exception which indicates that the database was
disconnected (DBI::OperationalError?)
