In most cases, you can do simply: $element->title
You can *not* do this in cases where 'title' is also the name of a
relationship in the $element DBIC object; in such cases you can
accomplish the same with: $element->get_column('title')
You can also create a method in your DBIC ResultSet called 'title' that
does fancy things if you want:
sub title {
my ( $self ) = @_;
return $self->get_column('title') || "Untitled Document";
}
Then you can use the first format ($element->title), to get at your
self-defined method.
I hope this all helps :)

I am a new user of Catalyst, and from reading the documents and
reading blogs posts I have been able to set up my schema, my authz/
authen, sessions, and my Mason view. I have a very simple question,
though.
This in a controller
$c->stash->{elements} = [$c->model('DB::Elements')->all];
Requires this in a view:
<% $element->{_column_data}->{title} %>
Is there a more transparent way to use DBIC so that I don't have this
intermediate hash ref in the middle of my object? I'd like to be able
to do
<% $element->{title} %>
It seems like TT does this automatically?
