You might want to consider an alternative column naming system...

For instance if a column stores the id of another table 'foo', call it 
'foo_id' and call the DBIx::Class relation to the other table just 
'foo'. Then, when you want the id use ->foo_id and when you want the 
relation use ->foo.

e.g. $cd->artist_id and $cd->artist->name

HTH,
