It was more a prompt for somebody with better inside knowledge of
DBIx::Class to take the idea and run with it or suggest a better
implementation. No point writing tests for code that's not suitable to
be used...
I'd have to disagree. The thing you should write first and is most
worth writing is the tests. That way you know your patch works - and
regardless of what implementation is thrown at it can be interchangeably
used to determine the suitability of it.
No point in writing code for functionality or for bug fixes for which
there are no tests. :)
(I often say... if its not tested, it doesn't work!)
