Ok, I was not clear how DBIC manages search conditions.


DBIC does know to prefix the columns, so I was curious if also possible with
the search conditions.  I guess not.

  $col =3D join( '.', $current_source_alias, $col ) if $col !~ m{\.} &&
$self->has_column( $col )

Yes, but what I was trying to explain is that at the time the above code is
run the alias does not exist -- that's even before a resultset has been
created so there's no current_source_alias.

But, there's easy work arounds, yes.  Thanks for your replies.
