I disagree (partially), what the OP is doing here is just grabbing a related object, which is not much different from grabbing a value from a local field. I do agree that the code to fetch from the resultset and such should probably not be in the View, but I would probably put this into the Model rather then the Controller, something like this in his Variant class would work. 

sub get_related_measurement_thingy {
     my ($self, $type_measurement) = @_;
     $self->variant_measurements_rs->find(
        $self->id, 
        $type_measurement->measurement_id
    ); # the template should probably call ->value though
}

then the OP could improve on it and add error handling or additional validation as well.
