I believe eric256 is correct above: Class::DBI doesn't add anything, it uses exactly what's passed to the has_many method. Even in the docs, it says: 

Music::Artist->has_many(cds => 'Music::CD');

# ..snip...

my $artist = Music::Artist->create({ artistid => 1, name => 'U2' });
my $cd = $artist->add_to_cds({ 
  cdid   => 1,
  title  => 'October',
  year   => 1980,
});

Notice the plural cds in both calls.

Maybe you stepped on a bug? If you could post the actual code snippets and errors, it would be easier to tell.

Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.
