What is the current best practice for package layout of user-written 
code?

Currently we have files like:

Project/Schema/Foo.pm            # table definition
Project/Schema/ResultSet/Foo.pm  # resultset additions
Project/Foo.pm                   # returned object additions

Since Project::Foo objects are returned from 
$schema->resultset('Foo')->search, we defined additional methods needed 
in that package. But should they be there, or defined in 
Project::Schema::Foo?

Thanks,

Richard
