How about this code?
$c->model('MyApp::IndexStatus')->search({'old_statuses.id' =3D>
undef},{join=3D>'old_statuses'})

>From my novice understanding of DBIx::Class, I would expect that to find
all records from MyApp::IndexStatus that do not have a corresponding row in
old_statuses. The "join" tells the SQL generator to join the tables so that
you can add conditions about old_statuses. DBIx::Class automatically does a
LEFT JOIN because the relationship is declared has_many.
