Yeah, your idea is essentially right.  You'll need to use ->new() 
instead of ::new(), though.  And if you want to preserve the old 
corvuDbSelect() method, you should implement it like so, because 
Select() is now a method, not a function:

   sub corvuDbSelect {
     __PACKAGE__->new()->Select( @_ );
   }
