How about making the behaviour like the following (the regex search "feature"
has annoyed me too :) -

MyApp->comp($name)

looks for (in order)

$name
MyApp::$name
MyApp::[MVC]::$name

and change the check from a straight if to an exists check, which will sort
the CDBI issue.

I think it might also be worth searching for each of the above case-insensitive
so that $c->comp("foo") will return MyApp::C::Foo since this makes sense
w.r.t. the /foo/ URL base for local actions therein.
