The setup() method is indeed the recommended way to configure your classes. You should not call initialize() after your call to setup(), since setup() itself will call initialize() internally: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-DB-Object/lib/Rose/DB/Object/Metadata.pm#setup "If 'initialize' is not one of the method names, then it will be called automatically (with no arguments) at the end. If you do not want to pass any arguments to the initialize method, standard practice is to omit it." If you *do* want to pass arguments to the call to initialize, use the standard technique described in the setup() docs: __PACKAGE__->meta->setup ( ... initialize => [ replace_existing => 1 ], ); > After doing a "touch" on the Model/Artist.pm file, I get the following > error when I reload the page in the Apache error log: > > [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Cannot create method > Model::Artist::add_nationalities - method already exists > at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Rose/DB/Object/Metadata/MethodMaker.pm > line 420\nCompilation failed in require at > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-l d/Apache2/Reload.pm line > 160.\n It does look like it's trying to re-initialize() this class. If that's the case, I recommend using replace_existing => 1 as shown above. (You could also use preserve_existing => 1 to silence the error, but then your class may not reflect chances made in the .pm file that's being reloaded.) -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
