Help!

I am attempting to use join in DBIx::Class. Perl will read the search component, then ignore the join component.

In the Result packages the code reads as follows:

TblPerson:

__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
  "PID",
  {
    data_type => "integer",
    extra => { unsigned => 1 },
    is_auto_increment => 1,
    is_nullable => 0,
  },
  "FName",
  { data_type => "varchar", is_nullable => 0, size => 30 },
  "MI",
  { data_type => "char", is_nullable => 1, size => 2 },
  "LName",
  { data_type => "varchar", is_nullable => 0, size => 30 },
  "username",
  { data_type => "varchar", is_nullable => 0, size => 8 },
);
.
.
.
__PACKAGE__->has_many(
  "tbl_requests",
  "DB::BSMS::Result::TblRequests",
  { "foreign.PID" => "self.PID" },
  { cascade_copy => 0, cascade_delete => 0 },
);

TblRequests:

__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
  "RID",
  {
    data_type => "integer",
    extra => { unsigned => 1 },
    is_auto_increment => 1,
    is_nullable => 0,
  },
  "PID",
  {
    data_type => "integer",
    extra => { unsigned => 1 },
    is_foreign_key => 1,
    is_nullable => 0,
  },
  "original_post_date",
  { data_type => "date", 
    datetime_undef_if_invalid => 1, 
    is_nullable => 0 
  },
  "last_update",
  { data_type => "date", 
    datetime_undef_if_invalid => 1,
    is_nullable => 0 
  },
  "submit_date",
  { data_type => "date", 
    datetime_undef_if_invalid => 1, 
    is_nullable => 1
  },
  "status",
  { data_type => "varchar", 
    is_nullable => 0, 
    size => 20 
  },
  "sent_email",
  { data_type => "date", 
    datetime_undef_if_invalid => 1, 
    is_nullable => 1
  },
);
.
.
.
__PACKAGE__->belongs_to(
  "p",
  "DB::BSMS::Result::TblPerson",
  { PID => "PID" },
  { is_deferrable => 1, on_delete => "NO ACTION", on_update => "NO ACT
+ION" },
);

CALLING METHOD:

method get_user_request_status() {
    my @proc_requests = $schema->resultset( 'TblRequests' )->search({
            -or => [
               -and => [
                   -or => [
                       'sent_email' => {'!=', undef },
                       'sent_email' => {'!=', '0000-00-00'},
                   ],
               ],
               'status' => 'Offered',
               'status' => 'Denied',
               'status' => 'Cancelled'
               'status' => 'Conditional Offer',
          ], },
              { join => 'p' }
   );

   return \@proc_requests if @proc_requests;
  }
}

When I exclude the the join component, the search component works fine. However, the
moment I introduce the join, the result set only returns data from TblRequests, and nothing from
TblPerson.

I ran debug, and it only displays the $schema statement upto the closing outter -or bracket "],". When
I press 'n' to go to the next line, it bypasses join component and goes right to the return statement. It simply
ignores the join component.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.
