It's identical to your previous approach, except that you are now 
re-defining a method on every single request.  That looks much less 
clean to me.

You will probably cause more memory to be unshared by constantly 
re-defining this method.

I still don't see why you need any of this.  Why can't you make your 
Class::DBI subclasses get their connection info from the same place as 
your other classes?  If the connection parameters are identical, it will 
reuse an open connection.
