You see - in fact in DBIC you still have the same 1table = 1class
thing - but the difference is that the model is the whole database not
just one table.  And the catalyst model is an adaptor for the whole
model not just for one table - this way you keep all the business
logic in the model and the adaptor is only for wrapping - and also you
don't need to create wrappers for each table (which would be a cut and
paste excercise).
