I think you are missing the fact that resultsets are strictly additive. 
Thus $some_object->some_has_many->delete will do *exactly* what you 
expect (delete all the related pieces of the has_many that relates to 
$some_object).

The following also works as you'd expect:

$schema->resultset('Something')
         ->search({ some arbitrary conditions })
          ->search_related('SomeHasManys')
           ->delete;

Does this answer the question?
