To handle the latter case in a maypole application, this is what I do :

__PACKAGE__->Ima::DBI::set_db(
    Read => # ... read params
);
__PACKAGE__->Ima::DBI::set_db(
    Write => # ... write params
);
__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata(useWriteDBH => 0); # Toggled during authorization phase to determine access.

Then, just

sub db_Main {
    my $class  = shift;
    return $class->useWriteDBH ? $class->db_Write(@_) : $class->db_Read(@_);
}
