[Dbix-class] Regenerating schema following DBIC::Schema::Loader dump_to_dir?

[Chris Cole]

I'm guessing there's no way to do it, then?

The problem seems to be that the current schema is a DBIx::Class::Schema
object, but in order to update it needs to be a
DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader object. I can modify the base class to be a
Loader object, but then the it barfs because the md5sums are different.

I seem to be in a catch22. (I think) I need to change the files in order
to update them, but changing them stops them being updated. Help!
