how would you hide the user and pass outside of an EZDBI script?

Put the username and password in another file that only the script owner has permissions to. You can just open and read it or use something like App::Config if your configuration information gets to be complicated. Using Storable for a quick and dirty solution is another option.

I agree that the namespace is a bit odd.
