    could secure my password information in a shared environment. Here is
    how I do it. If you see holes in this, please let me know. Also, I do
    most of my development on some flavor of UNIX, Linux, AIX, etc. These
    systems are what I know best. If there is a better (or just plain
    different) way to do security on another system, let me know and I'll
    include it here.

    For *X, all that you have to do is change the permissions on your
    password file so that you are the only person who can read it. A simple:

            chmod 400 .mypassword

    is all that it takes. Each user can have their own password file that
    only they can read. The caveat of this is that only scripts executed by
    you can read the file too... not sure how that fairs for web
    development.

SUBROUTINE DETAILS
  connect(virtual_user)
    An override of the of the DBI::connect subroutine. This method looks up
    the specified virtual user and returns a standard DBI connection.
