A while ago I went for a package with all the SQL in and an abstraction layer, CRDB which sits on top of DBI, takes a statement title and returns the results.
Works quite well for a system that doesnt have masses of SQL. 
package CRSql;

use strict;

use vars qw ( %SQL ) ;

%SQL = ( 

sys => q{
    select count(*) from user_tables
},

donation_count => q{
    select count(*) from donation
},

);


#------------------------------------

use CRSql;
use CRDB;

my $crdbh = CRDB->login('****', '****', '****', $FALSE);

Log::write('FATAL', "DB connection failed \n") unless (ref($crdbh) eq 
+'CRDB');

$crdbh->sql(\%CRSql::SQL);

my ($cols, $ref) = $crdbh->as_list('donation_count', 'A');
