One mechanism that may help is to move the DB connection data out -
a way to do this is https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx::Class::Schema::Config

Which moves the problem around...

I tend to have dev info with configs referring to sqlite - no passwords.
Deployed versions have configs built up from templates in ansible,
credentials either gitcrypt-ed or ansible vaulted.
