This is a great answer, Your Mother! I am so thankful for your help, as well as your empathy. It goes a long way to know that there are others who have struggled and eventually had success with this tool, especially in light of my current circumstance and limited options. DBIx::Class is the tool my company wants to use for the project on which we're working; there's no way around it-- I have to learn and use this tool correctly and efficiently.

The help you monks have provided has proved invaluable to me on my road to success. Again I thank you
