I'm not sure...
What I'm trying to do is two phase:

1) make a function like so:
Test.pl
        use DBI;
        
        $dbh->myfunc(...);

 sub DBI::db::myfunc {
        my $dbh = shift;
        $dbh->do(...
 }

That works great.

2) Next I want to move sub DBI::db::myfunc {} from Test.pl into a module so I can do:

        use DBI;
        use MYSuperModule; # exporting DBI::db::myfunc {}

        $dbh->myfunc(...);

So what I need to know I guess is:
        1) in MYSuperModule.pm do I 
                a) use DBI;
                b) sub DBI::db::myfunc {} or sub ???::Myfunc {}
        2) What is the best way to do that without causing namespace problems?

So answer a question with a question!

Thanks

Dan
