Is there a way to get the LAST_INSERT_ID (a MySQL 'feature') using Class::DBI or Class::DBI::mysql? Currently I'm using this this piece of code to do the job 
Class::DBI::mysql->set_sql('lastid', 'SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()');

## hacked from the Class::DBI::mysql methods
sub Class::DBI::mysql::id {
  my $class = ref $_[0] || $_[0];
  my $sth;
  eval {
      $sth = $class->sql_lastid();
      $sth->execute();
  };
  if($@) {
      $class->DBIwarn("lastid");
      return;
  }

  my $id = $sth->fetch->[0];
  $sth->finish();

  return $id;
}

From the documentation and the code it isn't apparent that this is already implemented, or is this perhaps a misuse of Class::DBI?
TIA
