There are numerous Class::DBI plugins to do this.

Class::DBI already supports many to many. It's not the most efficient

There's also scope for someone to write a proper relationship plugin for
this. The main reasons I haven't done so yet is that I haven't needed it
enough, and I can't come up with a nice enough interface.
