replace 

__PACKAGE__->columns(All => qw(user_id role_id));

with 
__PACKAGE__->columns(Primary => qw(user_id role_id));

and your code should work (it does here ;-).

an error likely to be overlooked! I spotted it reading the Class::DBI documentation; I don't know what the difference in the generated code is, and frankly: I don't care ;-) It's a cool module!

Edit:tested with perl 5.8.3 and Class::DBI 0.95. without the mentioned change I didn't get your error but wrong results (all three roles as 'typist') instead.
