In my experimenting, I've been doing stuff like this in my CGI::Application
base class:

sub cgiapp_prerun {
    my $self =3D shift;
    my $schema =3D MyDB::Main->connect( ... );

    $self->param( schema =3D> $schema );
}

sub schema {
    my $self =3D shift;
    return $self->param( 'schema' );
}

sub user {
    my $self =3D shift;
    return $self->schema->resultset('User')
}


Then, in a subclass, I can say:

sub foo_runmode {
    my $self =3D shift;
    my $user =3D $self->user->search( id =3D> "foo" );
}


I can even auto-generate the per-table accessors from the schema.

Of course, I have no idea if any of this is a good idea. Use at your own
peril. :)
