So I added a Catalyst::Base into the user base line of the parent class
of my models.... and was eaten by a grue :-/

Its a classic DBIx::Class set of classes - base class building on
DBIx::Class:-
  package BroadsoftFeature::M::Db::Base::DBIC;
  use base qw/DBIx::Class/;

I changed that to
  use base qw/Catalyst::Base DBIx::Class/;

and I now get 
        Couldn't instantiate component
        "BroadsoftFeature::M::Db::FeatureGroup", "Can't use string
        ("BroadsoftFeature") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use
        at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/DBIx/Class/InflateColumn.pm line
        71." at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/Module/Pluggable/Fast.pm
        line 95

Does this ring any bells for people?

Using Catalyst 5.66 and DBIC 0.03 - everything up to date as of
yesterday, although its hard to keep up with the Catalyst release
stream :-)
