| Subject: | CDBICompat requires a class exist for it to has_a |
Class::DBI->has_a() does not check if the given class exists at the time
the relationship is declared. This allows you to do interesting things
like generate, in memory, a large number of CDBI classes from a schema
file without caring about load order.
DBIx::Class::CDBICompat does not support this as the attached test
demonstrates.
