=head1 NAME

Gantry::Utils::DBConnHelper::Script - connection info and dbh cache manager for scripts

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Gantry::Utils::DBConnHelper::Script {
        dbconn => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=mydb;host=127.0.0.1',
        dbuser => 'someuser',
        dbpass => 'not_saying',
    };

OR

    use Gantry::Utils::DBConnHelper::Script;

    # ... do something, usually involving figuring out your conn info

    Gantry::Utils::DBConnHelper::Script->set_conn_info( $conn_info_hash_ref );

In either case, if you need httpd authentication (say in CGI):

    Gantry::Utils::DBConnHelper::Script->set_auth_conn_info(
            $auth_conn_hash_ref
    );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

When you use a model which inherits from Gantry::Utils::CDBI or
Gantry::Utils::Model etc., using this module can help with database
connection management.  Feel free to implement your own subclass
of Gantry::Utils::DBConnHelper if you need more control.  That
base class specifies which methods you must implement.

=head1 Normal Connection METHODS

See Gantry::Utils::DBConnHelper for a description of the methods available
here.

Note that only cgi scripts need to worry about the auth methods.
Off line scripts don't need to authenticate through apache.

Here is a list of the methods documented in Gantry::Utils::DBConnHelper.
