Thats what I was thinking when I read the post. You have your file:

ANPerl/AnalysisFramework/ResourceStore/Metadata/DBDiscoverySetResources.pm

and in that file declare the package like so:

package DBDiscoverySetResources;

Whatever loaded the module before will load it the exact same way and you'll
have your CDBI stuff in a programmer friendly namespace.
