DBIx::Class get error when running make schema

hamid.afshar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi dear monks,

I am running:

sudo perl -MDBIx::Class::Schema::Loader=make_schema_at,dump_to_dir:./lib -e 'make_schema_at("Timesheets::Schema", { debug => 1 }, [ "dbi:mysql:dbname=timesheets","root", "" ])'

Which is meant to create a dbix schema for me. However i get this error:

Timesheets::Schema::Result::User->set_primary_key("id");
Failed to reload class Timesheets::Schema::Result::Template: Illegal a
+ccessor name '1_start'. If you want CAG to attempt creating it anyway
+ (possible if Sub::Name is available) set $ENV{CAG_ILLEGAL_ACCESSOR_N
+AME_OK} at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/DBIx/Class/ResultSourceProxy.
+pm line 34.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 146) line 2.

Please rescue me! Thank you Hamid

It sounds like you have columns named with leading numbers. This is an "illegal" sub name in perl though it can be worked around. It's not a good idea probably. You can either follow the advice in the warning or manually write an accessor with a safer name if you don't want to rename your column but that second options means writing the classes from scratch since the loader won't work.
