Do

sub db_Main {
   return Class->get_schema->storage->dbh;
}

instead. DBIC's $dbh handling is much, much better than what you just showed. 
Then just have the "Class" class make the connection from the config and stash 
it somewhere its get_schema method can get to.

Nice to see Gantry users finally getting the message though; it's release as a 
new framework using CDBI::Sweet (which I wrote the join code for before giving 
up on CDBI and starting DBIx::Class) made me sad somewhat. Also, if there are 
any Gantry devs out there who'd been interested in collaboration with the 
Catalyst project we certainly would be; it seems to be a very similar 
framework bar the Sweet/codegen stuff and I imagine there's a lot of 
code-sharing that could be done.
