Thanks. I'm not as familiar with the interaction of DBIx::Class and 
Catalyst::Model::* as you are (obviously, I didn't write 'em :) but from 
here:

http://search.cpan.org/~ash/DBIx-Class-0.08007/lib/DBIx/Class/ResultSet.pm#result_class

I find:

result_class

     Arguments: $result_class?
     Return Value: $result_class

     An accessor for the class to use when creating row objects. 
Defaults
     to result_source->result_class - which in most cases is the name of
     the "table" class.

This seems to be the right behaviour to me. Can you summarise why it is 
not ?

Yet over here:

http://search.cpan.org/~blblack/Catalyst-Model-DBIC-Schema-0.20/lib/Catalyst/Model/DBIC/Schema.pm

I find:

class

     Shortcut for ->schema->class


So would the original be better written as:

$c->model('DBIC::UsedPassword')->class->create_limited(); # ?

If it's not this then the docs are really confusing and I'd really 
appreciate it if you could provide the correct usage or approach for 
this situation.

Many thanks,

Simon.
