I'm also new to DBIx::Class after using CDBI for a couple of years and I
had the exact same question.

I saved myself some typing by doing:

my $MyBest = $schema->resultset('MyBest');
$MyBest->search();

It seems to work but I've only done very basic stuff so far. Please let
me know if what I'm doing is stupid and will break when I try to do
something more complicated.

I still haven't got my head around exactly what a result set is and what
I can do with it. I subscribed to the mailing list to hopefully see some
examples of what other people are doing. So far this is the first
question I've been able to understand. :-)

As I learn more I may be tempted to write a CDBI to DBIC transition
guide.

Shane.
