http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Server_system_variables.html

And you should be able to set/change them using a 
$dbh->do("SET variable_name = $value")

Looking over the list, the only one that I see that ~30 sec is the 
net_read_tiemout, so you might want to start there.

I don't see why DBD::mysql should drop connection while the client does not, so
if that does not help, code and traces and schemata would be come in handy...
