[Catalyst] strange namespace behavior for dbic : schema

[Guy Debord]

Matt et al,

All of my models -- such as TMP::Model::Foo -- created by the helper
-- use DBIC::Schema as a base class and are configured to use
TMP::Schema as their schema_class.

Each model that I created through the helper ends up creating classes
in the namespace, one for each table in my database prefixed by that
model's name.

So for example, here are some classes

TMP::Model::Foo::Foo
TMP::Model::Bar::Bar
TMP::Model::Foo::Table1 .. Table100
Same for Bar, and everything else.

TMP::Model::Foo, Bar etc exist individually as instances.

IN terms of accessing the recordsets, $c->model("Foo::Foo") and
$c->model("Bar::Foo") return the same object.

$c->model("Foo") doesn't return anything.

To create the models, I first used:

tmp_create.pl model Bar DBIC::Schema TMP::Schema create=static connect_info

and then subsequent models Foo, etc, I created leaving off create=static.

any pointers would be appreciarted.
