Yes.  Data Access Object solutions like Class::DBI are not an ideal
place for some kinds of logic that spans multiple classes.  You need a
place to put that stuff.  If you put in your controller, it gets tangled
up with web-specific concerns.  So, if you need to be be able to use it
elsewhere, putting it in a separate class, which you still refer to as
part of the model, makes sense.
