Is there a better way to do it?
Yes, don't write class methods in DBIC. If the operation is on multiple rows, make it a resultset method. If the operation is on a single row, make it a method on the row object. If the operation is on a bunch of different things and neither of those make sense, make it a method on the schema object. -- Matt S Trout Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?
