Do you mean to have $dbh->reconnect() method? If yes, then first it needs to be supported by DBI, so report it to DBI itself: https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/issues

I meant it less general, so rather 'mysql_' specific.

This is not about a "reconnect", but about a "reset_connection". The existing connection gets reset, db-server-side, to get rid of any session variables, temporary tables, etc. Should be lighter than a "disconnect;connect".

On DBI, it should then also be called $dbh->reset_connection, I suppose. (and then it can fallback to "disconnect;connect;" for drivers that don't implement it)
