So the question I have is "How" do I insert the ping subroutine into my own custom DBI class which calls DBI and maintains the dbh connection.The old way (and I think it still works) is to use DBIx-AnyDBD but this functionality has now been included in the DBI itself - see the section on Subclassing the DBI in the DBI man page.
The following thread discusses how/why DBIx-AnyDBD was integrated into the DBI:
