  Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema::new()
  $schema_class->require

Initially, because that isn't how the C::M::DBIC::Schema docs said to do it.

Heh, yes, my model:

  package MyApp::Model::Main;
  use base qw(Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema);

  __PACKAGE__->config(
    schema_class => 'MyApp::Schema::Main'
  );

Yes. Am I missing something in relation to avoiding loading 50+ modules when I only need one?
