I was saying you could use connect_cached and prepare_cached to do everything shown in your example. If you make use of Class::DBI in the normal way elsewhere, that wouldn't be a good solution.

Regarding what you're doing with set_sql here, this is also pretty unusual. The set_sql stuff is supposed to be part of the class definition and it adds permanent class methods to your CDBI module. Changing these on the fly means you probably should be doing this part in some other way, like using DBI directly.

I don't quite understand why you're overwriting this query. Are you trying to have subclasses that all define this query differently?
