You can also use SQLT to convert a DB schema (including dredging the
structure out of a live database) into a DBIx::Class::Schema definition
- although it spits everything out as one file at present, so I would
want to do a batch of splitting into class files.  [You could of course
put the automatically generated chunk in your schema definition and then
your frosting, topping, additional methods etc into other files...]

At present there are naming/mapping convention differences between this
process and ..::Schema::Loader
