If you'd prefer to use things in a more "classic" DBIC style, you could
do something like:
my $thingies = $c->model('MyAppDB')->resultset('Thingy');
It may trouble you, however, that in this style $c->model('MyAppDB')
masquerades as a DBIx::Class::Schema, when in fact it's a
Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema. So here's real classic DBIC:
my $schema = $c->model('MyAppDB')->schema;
my $thingies = $schema->resultset('Thingy');
But that's very long to type, so Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema does some
magic that gives shortcuts to the resultset:
my $thingies = $c->model('MyAppDB::Thingy');
As far as I am aware, there is no technical reason to use one style over
the others. Pick the style that you like best and use it consistently
across your project. :-)
