Now I understand that DBIx::Class is more flexible than Class::DBI! On the other hand, this comes at the price of longer code for simple tasks, e.g., for inserting into a table 'Person', one would use 
# using DBIx::Class:  
$schema->resultset('Person')->new({FirstName=>'Joe'})->insert();   

# using Class::DBI:
DB::Person->insert({FirstName=>'Joe'});

Nevertheless, the greater flexibility motivated me to try DBIx::Class, too. What still bothers me is that 
package DB::Person;
use base 'DBIx::Class';
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/PK::Auto Core/);
__PACKAGE__->table('T_PERSON');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw[PersonId FirstName]);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('PersonId');

package DB;
use base 'DBIx::Class::Schema';
__PACKAGE__->load_classes(qw[Person]);

fails with Can't locate object method "result_source_instance" via package "DB/Person" (perhaps you forgot to load "DB/Person"?) at c:/Perl/site/lib/DBIx/Class/Schema.pm line 75. If I put the definition of DB::Person into DB/Person.pm, it works, but is far less elegant/compact. Is there a smarter solution?
