Esteemed Monks,

Your grateful supplicant comes before you yet again, seeking Wisdom:

I have two tables declared in my Class::DBI module: 

package InContact::cDBI::contactdetail;
use base 'InContact::cDBI';

__PACKAGE__->set_up_table('contactdetail');
__PACKAGE__->has_a('contact_id' => 'InContact::cDBI::contact');

package InContact::cDBI::contact;
use base 'InContact::cDBI';

__PACKAGE__->set_up_table('contact');
__PACKAGE__->has_many('contact_detail' => 'InContact::cDBI::contactdet
+ail', 'contact_id');

What I need to find is the records in InContact::cDBI::contact which have corresponding records in InContact::cDBI::contactdetail where the value of the recontact field in the InContact::cDBI::contactdetail is a certain date. So I ran the following code: 
    my $details = InContact::cDBI::contact->contact_detail(recontact =
+> $tm);
    print Dumper $details;

and what do I get? I get an interator (quite okay) but it is telling me which InContact::cDBI::contactdetail records are involved, what I need is the InContact::cDBI::contact records that point to those! This is the actual output from Data::Dumper:
$VAR1 = bless( {
  '_data' => [
    {
      'id' => '6'
    },
    {
      'id' => '7'
    }
  ],
  '_place' => 0,
  '_mapper' => [],
  '_class' => 'InContact::cDBI::contactdetail'

What am I missing here folks?
