I was looking to DBIx::Class to work with my database. The one thing I would like to change is the accessor/mutators that it auto generates. Instead of the typical,

# Accessor method
$object->username;

# mutator method
$object->username('bob');

[download]

I want to methods that begin with 'get_' or 'set_' (depending on their functionality).

# Accessor method
$object->get_username; 

# mutator method
$object->set_username('bob');

[download]

Has anyone done anything for this for DBIx::Class?

Update:

I posted to the DBIx mailing list and here is a solution provided by 'Matt Trout' which is what I think I will go with...

No, because we're perl programmers, not Java programmers  :) 

But it's not hard - you want to override register_column. Something li
+ke

sub register_column {
  my $class = shift;
  my ($col, $info) = @_;
  $info->{accessor} = undef;
  $class->mk_group_ro_accessors($col => "get_$col");
  $class->mk_group_wo_accessors($col => "set_$col");
  $class->next::method(@_);
}

should do the trick fine.
