I'm playing with a hand-crafted model using Catalyst::Model::DBI and
DBIx::Simple. In one of the methods I create a $dbi object as
DBIx::Simple->new($self->dbh), and then stuff $dbi into the
$self->context->stash for use elsewhere in the model methods, and all is
well.
But if that particular method isn't called by a Controller, then the
DBIx::Simple object isn't created and subsequent methods fail. I thought
I ought to be able to do something like this at the top instead:
package MyApp::Model::DBI;
__PACKAGE__->config(
dbi => DBIx::Simple->new(__PACKAGE__->dbh),
);
but obviously not:
Can't use string ("MyApp::Model::DBI") as a HASH ref while "strict refs"
in use at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/Class/Accessor/Fast.pm line 38.
MyApp::Model::DBI connect_info is automatically loaded from the global
config file. I need to get the models dbh into DBIx::Simple->new(). What
am I doing wrong?
