If I don't want lazy-loading should I just create my own DBH?  (I want to die as
soon as possible if the DB connection isn't working)

Or should I do something along the lines of:

$self->dbh_config($dsn,$user,$pass,{RaiseError => 1});
eval { $self->dbh(); }
if ($@) {
	_do_dead_db($@);
}

Cheers,
Chris
