I've been racking my brain trying to find a way to automatically pass an
object, for the matter the Catalyst::Request object, to DBIx::Class methods.
I cannot and will not pass it myself every time I call a method in my
schema. While I do believe the model and the app should be completely
separated, further information must flow between the two.
I think you're looking for ACCEPT_CONTEXT or InstancePerContext.
That's how I solved passing values from Catalyst to DBIC.

<http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::Component::InstancePerContext>
I seem to recall reading that you should decide what data/values
your DBIC model needs, and then only pass those in
ACCEPT_CONTEXT, rather than passing whole objects like $c->req.
That way when you use a different front-end, you don't have to
mock a $c->req object, you simply pass the values the DBIC
schema requires.
In your example you want the "user ID and the user IP" so grab
those from $c->req during ACCEPT_CONTEXT (or
build_per_context_instance) and pass them to your schema.
