thanks, jonathan. that is (roughly) the approach i tried after sending my last mail,
package Vinq::RDBO::_mysql; use base 'Rose::DB::Object'; use strict; use warnings; use Vinq::Globals qw($dbh); use Vinq::RDB::MySQL; our $MAKING_CLASSES = 0; sub init_db { my $_dbh = $dbh; # Global if ($MAKING_CLASSES) { ## RDBO has trouble auto_initializing from Vinq::DB, so get 'pure' dbh $dbh->_connect if $dbh->{connectionNeeded}; $_dbh = $dbh->{connectionHandle}; } my $db = Vinq::RDB::MySQL->new(driver => 'mysql', dbh => $_dbh); return $db; } 1; and then Vinq::RDBO::User (et al) isa Vinq::RDBO::_mysql. so far so good!
