I still running into the issue, I went ahead and changed it over to Changed instead of being local. I also added a chained method to add an entry to the table with after testing works so I know it is not a database issue. Here is my updated code for my controller

sub base :Chained('/') :PathPart('admin') :CaptureArgs(0) {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;
        $c->stash( users => $c->model('DB::Tech'));
        $c->log->debug('*** INSIDE BASE METHOD ***');
}

sub list :Chained('base') :PathPart('list') :Args(0) {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;
        $c->stash( users => $c->model('DB::Tech')->search_rs );
        $c->stash(template => 'admin/list.tt2');
}

sub add :Chained('base') :PathPart('add') :Args(0) {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;

        $c->stash(template => 'admin/new.tt2');
}

sub add_do :Chained('base') :PathPart('add_do') :Args(0) {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;

        # Retrieve the values fro mthe form
        my $username = $c->request->params->{username};
        my $password = $c->request->params->{password};
        my $fname = $c->request->params->{fname};
        my $lname = $c->request->params->{lname};
        my $email = $c->request->params->{email};
        my $phone = $c->request->params->{phone};
        my ( $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isd
+st ) = localtime time;
        $year += 1900;
        my @month_abbr = qw( Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct N
+ov Dec );
        my $date = "$year-$month_abbr[$mon]-$mday";


 # Create the tech
        my $user = $c->model('DB::Tech')->create({
                id      =>      $username,
                password =>     $password,
                firstname =>    $fname,
                lastname =>     $lname,
                email   =>      $email,
                phone   =>      $phone,
                managementrating        =>      '5',
                managementcomments      =>      q[],
                date    =>      $date,
                ismanagement    =>      '0',
                });
        $Data::Dumper::Useperl = 1;
        $c->stash(users => $user,

                template => 'admin/create_done.tt2');
}

If the add and add_do subs would have failed then I would know it was a problem with my Model or database but this is just odd
