Yes, mod_perl keeps your code in memory, and you can't be sloppy like you
can be with plain old CGI, so you need to explicitly close your database
conenctions (in DBI, I think it's the disconnect() method).

Note also, if you are using Apache::DBI, it does some cool things like
connection pooling and stuff, specifically for use with mod_perl.
