Have you regenerated your schema using 'dbicdump' after making changes ?

This is the biggest operatioal change when moving from Class:DBI , where that step is not required.

FYI - here is a very similar functioning baby app I wrote when learning this stuff (which I have subsequently forgotten):

use strict;
use warnings;
use MusicApp::Schema; 
#MusicApp::Schema::Result::Band->has_many( albums => 'MusicApp::Schema
+::Result::Album', 'band');#{ 'foreign.band' => 'self.name' });

my $bandname = $ARGV[0] || "The Beatles";
my $DB_NAME="musicdb.sqlite";

my $schema = MusicApp::Schema->connect("dbi:SQLite:$DB_NAME");

my $bandrs =  $schema->resultset('Band')->search({ name => { -like => 
+"\%$bandname\%" } }) ;

while (my $b = $bandrs->next){
  print "BAND: ",$b->name, "  Started ", $b->year,"\n";
  my $albumrs = $b->albums;
  while (my $a = $albumrs->next){
        print "\tALBUM: ",$a->year,"\t",$a->name,"\n";
       
        my $songrs =  $a->songs;
     while (my $s = $songrs->next){
        print "\t\tSONG: ",$s->track, "\t",$s->name,"\n";
      }
  }
}

Howdy NetWallah! Thanks! I actually been lurking around PerlMonks for a long time and usually found what I needed. So I didn't need to post anything, until now. I'm sure I'll be posting again soon! 8uO I had to look up what dbicdump. I just copied and pasted everything from the DBIx::Class::Manual::Example doc. I'm just getting started on learning DBIx:Class, so outside of my one experiment. I have ventured outside of the examples at all. Your code was great!! Here's the code changes:

use strict;
use lib qw( ... );
use MyDatabase::Main;

my ($s_seconds, $s_microseconds) = gettimeofday;
my $schema = MyDatabase::Main->connect('dbi:mysql:dbname=test',

"xxxxxx",

"XXXXX");
my $artistname = 'Michael Jackson';
my $artists_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist');
## my $artists_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
##                                                  { 'name' => "Micha
+el
Jackson" }
##                                                );

while (my $a = $artists_rs->next) {
  print "Artist ID: ", $a->artistid, ".) ", $a->name, ".\n";
  my $cd_rs = $a->cds;
  while (my $c = $cd_rs->next) {
    print "  CD Id: ", $c->cdid, ".) ", $c->title, ".\n";
    my $track_rs = $c->tracks;
    while (my $t = $track_rs->next) {
      print "      ID: ", $t->trackid, ".) ", $t->title, ".\n";
    }
    print "\n";
  }  ## CD's Loop.
  print "\n";
} ## Artists Loop.

my ($e_seconds, $e_microseconds) = gettimeofday;
my $elapsed = tv_interval(
                        [$s_seconds, $s_microseconds],
                        [$e_seconds, $e_microseconds]
                      );
print "Elapsed:${elapsed}.\n";
