That is not how I read it...

Foo::Employee->has_a(employee => q{Foo::Employee});

[download]

That code shows that a recursive has_a is happening here linking Foo::Employee to itself. That on it's own should work, and I have used it successfully myself. But what about the following statement?

The idea was that if someone grabs the primary key of a row, return the object, not the integer PK.

That line implies to me that they are doing this with the primary key of the table. At least that's how I read it.

I'll admit that the fact that they are linking this to 'employee' makes it look suspect, but they specifically state they are dealing with a primary key... I guess a clarification by water would solve this confusion.

I do agree with your other comment that the segfault is not in Class::DBI. It could be an obscure perl bug, but more than likely it is the DBD driver for the database (either improperly installed, or buggy).
