Except that's not a "thing about catalyst". You don't need to use DBIC. It's a 
popular choice, sure, but if you think that something else would be eaiser, 
then go for it. Use Rose, invent your own wheel, or do what $WORK does and 
write a model that does nothing but stored-procedure calls (straight DBI and 
some glue). DBIC isn't required for using catalyst, it's just the standard 
choice for doing what DBIC does -- which most people find rather useful.
