I suppose you want "Predefined searches":

http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Class/lib/DBIx/Class/Manual/Cookbook.pod#Predefined_searches

If you don't want to manually set your ResultSet classes with - 
 >resultset_class take a look at load_namespaces() which will  
automatically do this based on two distinct namespaces for  
ResultSources and ResultSets:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Class/lib/DBIx/Class/Schema.pm#load_namespaces

By the way, there's also a dedicated DBIC mailing list for which this  
question is probably better suited :)

HTH,
