[Catalyst] Database schema -- Can't locate object method "new" via package

[Sarah Berry]

As far as documentation, I've been working from the introduction to the DBIx
class at
http://www.annocpan.org/~MSTROUT/DBIx-Class-0.06999_02/lib/DBIx/Class/Manual/Intro.pod,
as well as referencing a great thread from the list archives (
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/catalyst/users/7463?search_string=schema%20loader)
where there's a detailed example of what files go in what Catalyst folders
(Model vs. Schema, etc).

I put the following command on my page (dbixdemo.pm), and it rendered fine
in the browser:
              my $schema = $c->model("SLogDB");
When I tried to follow it up with
              my $attempt = $schema->resultset('tblsmaps')->find(14);
I got the error
      Caught exception in vieSEB::Controller::dbixdemo->default "Can't
locate object method "resultset" via package "vieSEB::Model::SLogDB"

Maybe I have the wrong plugin installed or something. Jess, in your example,
what should Foo be? A table in the database? A query you set up somewhere
else?

Thanks again,

Sarah
