I don't know if mysql has a facility similar to Oracle's synonyms 
whereby you could alias tables from the common schema into the 
app-specific one.  If not, it's possible that a simple views might work, 
something like:

  create view employee as (select * from common.employee)

Then just put all of the tables into the same DBIC schema.
