Persistent connections will not work for straight CGI scripts, because
CGI is not persistent.

For each CGI request, a new perl interpreter is loaded, your script is
compiled, run, and the Perl process exits.

mod_perl IS persistent, as are your CGI scripts run via
ModPerl::Registry etc.

You don't need connect_on_init to work, but you do need mod_perl
