[Catalyst] how to reuse Catalyst Schema for non-web purposes?

[kakimoto at tpg.com.au]

Hello Kieren,

    thank you for the link,
http://blog.hide-k.net/archives/2008/10/dbixclassresult_1.php.


Please correct me if I am wrong.
Say if I have a Schema file, Schema/Subscriptions.pm

After the section, "DO NOT MODIFY ANYTHING ABOVE THIS! ",
 I start declaring functions (not methods).


sub is_trial_period
{
   # evaluate if trial period is over or not
   # as this has to be determined through a set
   # of business rules.
   ...
}

sub is_promo_period
{
   # evaluate if promo period is still on or not
   # as this has to be determined through a set
   # of business rules.
   ...
}


Have I got the right idea?


Thank you.

K. akimoto
