No, I think in this case, it's Class::DBI::AsForm doing the wrong thing.
There ought to be some kind of cut-off for when it turns a has-a into a
SELECT element; you probably don't want a 50,000 option SELECT, ever,
not least if you're never going to use it.
Perhaps the solution is for AsForm to return its own objects, which save state
and only hit the database when as_HTML is called on them.
The alternative is to take the 'cgi' bit out of the class metadata, and have
AsForm add methods into each model class, so you'd call
beer.as_form("breweries").as_HTML
if you needed it.
