I just noticed that in the Ima::DBI docs.

    Foo->set_db($db_name, $data_source, $user, $password);
    Foo->set_db($db_name, $data_source, $user, $password, \%attr);

	This method is used in place of DBI->connect to create your database
	handles. It sets up a new DBI database handle associated to $db_name.
	All other arguments are passed through to DBI->connect_cached.

	A new method is created for each db you setup.  This new method is called
	"db_$db_name"... so, for example, Foo->set_db("foo", ...) will create
	a method called "db_foo()". (Spaces in $db_name will be translated into
	underscores: '_')

I will just replace my question with your note on the wiki.

Thanks for setting me straight.
