I did a little browsing around CDBI and found what may be a possibility.
I looked at AutoLoader
<http://search.cpan.org/~ryanparr/Class-DBI-AutoLoader-0.12/AutoLoader.pm>
to see what it did and discovered two interesting features:
(1) It has a specific mechanism for loading additional classes:
use Class::DBI::AutoLoader (
...
additional_packages => ['Class::DBI::AbstractSearch']
);
(2) It has a method of playing base class switcheroo using this package
specifically designed for the purpose:
<http://search.cpan.org/~rclamp/Class-DBI-BaseDSN-1.22/lib/Class/DBI/BaseDSN.pm>
Food for thought.
Cheers, Dave
