embedding DB handle in object (was RE: adding key to DB object)

[Brandon Metcalf]

In trying to take your suggesting and embed a DB handle in my own
object, this is what i've come up with.  However, a error is being
thrown when DBI is trying to destory the handle which I understand.
What I don't get is how to do this properly.

This may be inappropriate for this forum.

  $ cat jj
  #!/usr/bin/perl

  use strict;
  use warnings;

  use ii;

  my $dbh = ii->dbconnect_new();
  __END__
  $ cat ii.pm
  package ii;

  use strict;
  use warnings;

  use DBI;

  use vars qw{ @EXPORT @ISA};

  use Exporter;
  @ISA = qw{ Exporter DBI::db };
  @EXPORT = qw{ &dbconnect_new };

  sub dbconnect_new {
     my ($pkg, $dbname) = @_;

     my $dbh;
     $dbh->{dbhandle} = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname='mydb';host='myhost'");

     bless $dbh, $pkg;
  }
  1;
  __END__
  $ ./jj
  SV = RV(0x810eb70) at 0xbfffdb10
    REFCNT = 1
    FLAGS = (ROK,READONLY)
    RV = 0x8108240
          (in cleanup) dbih_getcom handle ii=HASH(0x8108240) is not a DBI 
handle (has no magic).
