DBI MySQL Use Another DB Without Disconnecting

Is there a way to change the database in a DBI mysql connection without
disconnecting? For example, in PHP you'd just say

mysql_select_db("db_name_here", $dbh)

I looked through the DBI code on cpan and I didn't see anything, but
I'm falling asleep here at work, so maybe I missed it. :)

Thanks,
Mike
