Dear fellows

I've entrapped myself, trying to simplify my life.
I've just changed from pure DBI access libraries to Class::DBI and I'm currently rewriting code to authenticate and change his/her password using this module.

I'm encripting database stored passwords using MySQL's PASSWORD() SQL Function.

What I need is a simple way to make Class::DBI do what the SQL code below does:

  1. Fetch user data from database:
    SELECT [columns]
   FROM user
   WHERE id='$id' AND passwd=PASSWORD('$pwd')

    [download]
  2. Update user password in database: 
    UPDATE user
   SET passwd=PASSWORD('$pwd')
   WHERE id='$id'

    [download]

I can't figure out from docs how do I call MySQL's PASSWORD() function from the Class::DBI module.

Any help would be nice.
Thank you very much.
