Yes, it would be possible. But I'd much rather provide a query syntax for DBIC
that more closely mirrors the SQL syntax. My two current thoughts on this are
via operator overloading -
my $this_millenium = FROM $cds_rs WHERE { $_->year >= 2000 & $_->tracks->count
> 10 };
or via some hybrid syntax -
my $this_millenium = $cds_rs->search( AND( 'year' GTE 2000, 'count(tracks)' GT
10 ) );
