And you're done!

See the docs: 

     Give it a database connection
           Class::DBI needs to know how to access the database.  It do
+es this
           through a DBI connection which you set up by calling the se
+t_db()
           method.

                   Music::DBI->set_db('Main', 'dbi:mysql:dbname', 'use
+r', 'password');

           By setting the connection up in your application base class
+ all the
           table classes that inherit from it will share the same conn
+ection.
