Greetings fellow monks!

I am in the process of learning DBIx::Class and Catalyst. The examples below probably are not unique to Catalyst, however. At the moment, I am trying to wrap my mind around DBIx::Class relationships (yes, I have read the docs...and more).

The scenario is as follows:

• Members have one or more Profiles.
• Members may have roles assigned to them.
• Profiles may have roles assigned to them.
• Roles have a role type.

I am presenting the following classes for constructive critique. I am particularly interested in whether or not I am declaring the intended relationships properly. If not, I would greatly appreciate your insight. Note that these classes are stored in separate files, and are documented with POD, which was not included in the examples.

package testDB::Member;
use base qw / DBIx::Class /;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/ PK::Auto Core /);
__PACKAGE__->table('members');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ id name email password enabled /);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key(qw/ id /);
__PACKAGE__->has_many(profiles       => 'testDB::Profile',      'membe
+r_id');
__PACKAGE__->has_many(assigned_roles => 'testDB::AssignedRole', 'membe
+r_id');
1;

package testDB::Profile;
use base qw / DBIx::Class /;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/ PK::Auto Core /);
__PACKAGE__->table('profiles');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ id member_id server name /);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key(qw/ id /);
__PACKAGE__->belongs_to(member       => 'testDB::Member',       'membe
+r_id');
__PACKAGE__->has_many(assigned_roles => 'testDB::AssignedRole', 'profi
+le_id');
1;

package testDB::AssignedRole;
use base qw / DBIx::Class /;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/ PK::Auto Core /);
__PACKAGE__->table('assigned_roles');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ id member_id profile_id role_id /);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key(qw/ id /);
__PACKAGE__->belongs_to(member  => 'testDB::Member',  'member_id');
__PACKAGE__->belongs_to(profile => 'testDB::Profile', 'profile_id');
__PACKAGE__->belongs_to(role    => 'testDB::Role',    'role_id');
1;

package testDB::Role;
use base qw / DBIx::Class /;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/ PK::Auto Core /);
__PACKAGE__->table('roles');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ id tag description enabled /);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key(qw/ id /);
__PACKAGE__->has_one(role_type       => 'testDB::RoleType',     'role_
+type_id');
__PACKAGE__->has_many(assigned_roles => 'testDB::AssignedRole', 'role_
+id');
1;

package testDB::RoleType;
use base qw / DBIx::Class /;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/ PK::Auto Core /);
__PACKAGE__->table('role_types');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ id name /);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key(qw/ id /);
1;
