[Catalyst] still not sure if I have the hang of this ...

[Joe Landman]

  test::Model::Database::Testing->find_or_create works

  	$c->model('Testing')->find_or_create fails  (Caught exception "Can't 
call method "find_or_create" on an undefined value at 
/root/test/script/../lib/test/Controller/db.pm line 24.")

  	$c->model('Database::Testing)->find_or_create works.

Hmmm... must have built the model wrong.  This is what I used

	script/test_create.pl model Database DBIC dbi:SQLite:/root/test/db/test.db

Should that be

	script/test_create.pl model DBIC dbi:SQLite:/root/test/db/test.db

??
