I have found a thread on DBIx-class mailing list that throws some light
on this using
http://search.cpan.org/~ash/DBIx-Class-0.08006/lib/DBIx/Class/Schema.pm#load_namespaces
This seems to solve the problem for putting such logic into the
Model/Schema but would it be better to put this type of logic into a
business logic layer? In which case how would I obtain a $schema object?
Would I have to then pass this as a parameter to the method?

Hi
My existing Catalyst application is being extended. I want to keep a
record of previous passwords used by a user to prevent them being
re-used.
I have Model 'UsedPassword' to keep track of the previous 8 (say)
passwords as so-
package MyApp::Schema::UsedPassword;
use strict;
use base qw(DBIx::Class);
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw(PK::Auto Core));
__PACKAGE__->table('used_password');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw(id user password));
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');
So, if I want a method (create_limited) to create a new UsedPassword
object, that ensures no more that 8 (say) passwords are stored in the
database (against each User) where should it go?
Ideally (I think) I would like to do something like
$c->model('DBIC::UsedPassword')->create_limited({
user => $user->id,
password => $password,
});
but i can't see how to add it to MyApp::Schema::UsedPassword (since
$c->model('DBIC::UsedPassword') returns a ResultSet not a
MyApp::Schema::UsedPassword)
Any other suggestions where to put it (polite one's only please)?
Regards
Ian
