Oops sorry about that last reply.

Basically I work on a poorly structured application, the in-house method of
determining the columns for a table is to query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA of
the mysql database at runtime, or to embed column names in SQL statements
(eww). I have opted to place the results of INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries in
__PACKAGE__->add_columns but this is going to result in a lot of unnecessary
DB calls. I think I will write some additional code to pre-cache the column
names somewhere.

In the interim, can you tell me if my approach of placing calls to
DB::Main->load_classes inside the body of DB::Main::Foo a sane approach? I
happened upon it through experimentation.

Cheers for the response.
