sherab, your terminology seems fine - I think you just misread my post. I wrote: "... is in a subclass ..." not "... is a subclass ...".

You have thrown me a bit with "I see I can't edit/delete the above. ...". I'm not sure if you're referring to the examlpe moritz provided or the one I linked to in the DBI documentation.

Anyway, the basic idea is that you do not re-code the one million my $sth = $dbh->prepare(...) lines you currently have; nor do you re-code any existing $dbh = new_dbh(...) lines. Instead, you make a single change to your new_dbh routine which I envisage to be as simple as:

# Old:
# return $dbh;

# New:
return bless $dbh, 'My::DBI::st';

Then add the code provided by moritz above that.

Hopefully, that answers some of your questions. If you have more, feel free to ask.
