Taking an educated guess with grep is indeed the easiest path sometimes.

load_components loads modules and adds them as base class (kinda like use base does).

load_components('Core') loads DBIx::Class::Core and makes DBIx::Class::Core a base class of your class.

DBIx::Class::Core similarly uses load_components loads a number of modules (including DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy::Table) and adds them to its list of base classes.

package Result::Item;

use strict;
use warnings;

use base 'DBIx::Class';

__PACKAGE__->load_components( "InflateColumn::DateTime", "Core" );

print "Parents of Result::Item:\n";
print "$_\n" for @Result::Item::ISA;
print "\n";
print "Parents of DBIx::Class::Core:\n";
print "$_\n" for @DBIx::Class::Core::ISA;

Parents of Result::Item:
DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime
DBIx::Class::Core
DBIx::Class

Parents of DBIx::Class::Core:
DBIx::Class::Relationship
DBIx::Class::InflateColumn
DBIx::Class::PK::Auto
DBIx::Class::PK
DBIx::Class::Row
DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy::Table
DBIx::Class

Thanks for your reply.

But why my result is a bit different from yours?

The code I posted couldn't possibly give the result you got.I presume you got different results because you ran different code.

I got your point. I guess I can change class Item to inherit from DBIx::Class::Core instead of DBIx::Class and comment out this line :

__PACKAGE__->load_components( "InflateColumn::DateTime", "Core" );

Am I right?

I can change class Item to inherit from DBIx::Class::Core instead of DBIx::Class

Why would you do that?

In your previous post, you showed that you weren't inheriting from DBIx::Class, so why do you say "instead"?
