If anyone wants to experiment with DBIx::Class  using
DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader gives you a
quick way to start:
from the kohaclone directory you use the command
dbicdump -o dump_directory=. Koha::Schema dbi:mysql:dbname=koha
kohaadminuser password
This writes a Koha::Schema class and a Koha::Schema::Results::X class
for every table in the database and you can regenerate it the same way
to reflect db changes (but it preserves any custom code you add)
