I'm guessing you want to put that in a global, not a lexical ("my")
variable.

Also, if you do it before the server forks, make sure that you close the
database connection.  I've posted other information about using
Class::DBI with mod_perl, which you can find in the archives.

You should be able to just add anything to any package at any time:

package My::GeneratedClass;

sub new_sub_that_loader_did_not_make {
...
}
