dbi_commit() is actually a class method, not an object method. It works
when you call it on an object, but that's just a side-effect. In fact,
it's confusing to call it as an object method since it doesn't just
commit that object, but everything since your last commit.

I would recommend that you always call it like so:
  MyApp::DB->dbi_commit();
