Generally speaking, DBIx::Class does not need or want Apache::DBI.  The
things that Apache::DBI tries to accomplish, DBIx::Class does for itself 10
times better.  Apache::DBI used to actually break things for us, but now for
quite a while we've had some explicit code in the DBIx::Class storage layer
which temporarily disables Apache::DBI when we're issuing our ->connect
statements to make DBIx::Class work safely with it.  (You can see this in
"sub _connect" in the storage driver source at
http://search.cpan.org/src/JROBINSON/DBIx-Class-0.07001/lib/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm).
