I was referring to:

Right, so you asked DBIC to wrap whatever you gave it in a select statement,
and are then complaining that DBIC wrapped it in a SELECT statement...

You are not calling a stored procedure, you are defining the stored proc on
the fly - DBIC just did what you asked it to do

The stuff you want to pull off needs to be done on a bare DBI handle,
sidestepping DBIC (which is not designed to deal with random data sources in
such manner). I gave you the answer to how to do this in my first email -
$schema->storage->dbh_do (sub { my $dbh = $_[1]; ... code here })

As far as the documentation - I do not see how it is ambiguous, but I would
gladly accept patches clearing this up from your point of view, either
on-list, as an RT, or as a pull request on github.

Cheers!
