my own db access module, which base classes DBI and over-ride execute() for this I advise you against doing this. Even if you succeed in changing the host overriding the execute() method (perhaps you should aim at prepare()), you would undermine any transaction that could be under way. The MySQL replication schema may be unconvenient for its division of write-on-master and read-from-slaves, but it's rather solid. In my experience, using it with transactional tables (InnoDB) guarantees replication of transactions without a glitch. The solution you are proposing is filter-based, and it's similar to the one offered from some commercial clusters, (emic networks, for example), which lose their transaction capabilities in the bargain. Remember that, when using transactions, you should direct to the master the whole transaction, including any reading instruction within it. If you don't, you may get completely wrong results. Instead of filtering, you could create an application wrapper, to send all modifying statements and transactions to the master, and rotate the slaves who should receive a simple read statement. I don't know of any (public) Perl modules that deal with this problem. I may only recommend reading Jeremy Zawodny's High Performance MySQL (there is a sample chapter about replication).
