[Catalyst] accessing ResultSet function from a related object

[John Goulah]

I am having some trouble in both controller and template code accessing
resultset functions off of chained/related objects (because from what I'm
seeing they are not ResultSets but of the type
MyApp::Model::MyAppDB::Tablename).

For example I can create a ResultSet object directly like:
    my $owner =3D $c->model('MyDB::User')->search({ user_id =3D> $owner_id =
} );

and then I can do for example:

    $owner->some_result_set_method()

but I can't do this if I want to chain off another object, such as:

    #not ok
    my $owner_id =3D
$photo_details_rs->first()->owner->some_result_set_method();

but...

    #this is fine, just accessing a field
    my $owner_id =3D $photo_details_rs->first()->owner->user_id;

and if I have some relation such as 'primary_photo' defined, then in my
template this is also ok on this model type object:

       comment.user.primary_photo.asset.url

but if I wanted to call a method defined in my ResultSet, its not working:

    comment.user.some_result_set_method


I understand this is because comment.user is of type Model, but it seems
there would be some way to call these functions since in this case I need to
get at the user object from each comment since thats whats being iterated-

Thanks,
John
