You would be hard pressed to pick a more difficult task upon which to cut your teeth. The DBIx::Password module is in a word poorly designed. Essentially there is a configuration script within the Makefile.PL that you run on installation that takes some user input and then uses Data::Dumper to dump the configuration back into DBIx::Password.pm. Personally I think it is a horrible way to do it. Anyway all the configuration is in a variable called $virtual1 within the Password.pm module 

my $virtual1 = {
              'user' => {
                          'driver' => 'mysql',
                          'username' => 'username',
                          'attributes' => {
                                            'extra_attrib' => 'attrib_
+value'
                                          },
                          'port' => 'port',
                          'database' => 'databasename',
                          'password' => 'password',
                          'host' => 'machine_name',
                          'connect' => 'DBI:mysql:database=databasenam
+e;host=machine_name;port=port'
                        }
            };

There are no methods provided to modify this data structure after the fact so you will have to open the Password.pm file. Extract the data-structure and probably eval it into a variable. Modify the data structure. Dump it back out aka the original.
