This should still work as before, I think you're doing something  
wrong somewhere, but I'm afraid there isn't enough information here  
to help you.

As this is specifically a DBIx::Class problem, I'd suggest you mail  
the DBIx::Class list and give them a full error message and the  
schema and result classes concerned..
