Help, i will be connecting to many different databases and wanted to soft code the DBH. I have written a package and I pass it database userId and Password, and would want to pass back $dbh_db( the db passed )

my softcode dbh would be ${dbh_."$db"};

my package is:

package tst;

use Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(${dbh_."$db"});

sub connect
{
use DBI;
local ( $db, $i_userid, $i_passwd ) = @_;

${dbh_."$db"} = DBI->connect("DBI:Oracle:$db", $i_userid, $i_passwd);

}

but it does not seem to want to export the ${dbh_."$db"}

"${dbh_."$db"}" is not exported by the tst module at d1.pl line 5

What am I doing wrong? Is this possible?
Any help would be fantastic
