Hello, I'm having a problem getting a builder to run in a subclass. Whenever I try and run a script that calls $obj->{'manual_phone'} it comes back undefined and I'm not sure why. I thought this was supposed to be built when the accessor was called.
Anyways, here's what I have. 
package Transaction;

use Moose;
use MyDB::Merchid;
use Win32;

has 'transaction_type' => (
    is       => 'rw',
    isa      => 'Str',
    required => 1,
);

has merch_info => (
    is      => 'ro',
    isa     => 'Any',
    builder => '_build_merch_info',
);

sub _build_merch_info {

    my $self = shift;

    my $snum = substr(Win32::NodeName, 5);

    return MyDB::Merchid->retrieve($snum);
}

1;

package MyDB;

use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'Class::DBI';

MyDB->connection('dbi:ODBC:mydbsqldsn') || die "Couldn't connect to da
+tabase: " . $DBI::errstr . "\n";

1;

package Transaction::CC;

use Moose;

extends(qw/Transaction/);

has 'manual_phone' => (
    is          => 'ro',
    isa         => 'Str',
    lazy_build  => 1,
);

sub _build_manual_phone {

    my $self = shift;

    if (! defined $self->{merch_info}) {
        die "ERROR: merch_info not defined\n";
    }

    return $self->{merch_info}->MANUAL_NUMBER;
}

1;


package MyDB::Merchid;

use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'MyDB';

MyDB::Merchid->table('MERCHID');

MyDB::Merchid->columns(All => qw/
COMPANY_NUMBER
MERCHID_SIC_CODE
MERCHID_QUAL_CODE
MANUAL_NUMBER
/);

1;

A snippet from the script: 

my $obj = Transaction::CC->new(
    'transaction_type' => 'Visa',
);

print "\$obj->{'manual_phone'}: " . $obj->{'manual_phone'} . "\n";
