It should work. According to the docs, the default for cascading delete is to delete the child if the parent is deleted; but it's not working here. So, we have to work around it.

Class::DBI doesn't support Many to Many right now. The module's author does say that you can manually set up the relationships and get some measure of control by writing a Class::DBI::Cascade::Plugin::Nullify and inserting it into the relationship: 

WebR::M::CDBI::Datatype->has_many(children=>['WebR::M::CDBI::DatatypeR
+elationship'=>'child"], 'parent', {
   cascade => 'Class::DBI::Cascade::Plugin::Nullify'
});

Try it and see if that works. I hope this helps.
