That's the old way ... there's a more modern thread in the last few
weeks about how to do it now that Ima::DBI has been broken in two.
See messages around:

You basically need to call DBI->connect_cached with the default Class::DBI
attributes (especially RootClass => "DBIx::ContextualFetch")

This is documented in the *latest* release candidate, which probably
isn't the one you have installed, as it's not actually public yet! :)

You probably have a has_many declaration getting compiled before the
has_a that mirrors it. If you're defining multiple classes in the same
file, try switching the order around.

For a much longer explanation see:

Or you can wait a few hours for the new release candidate in which this
has (hopefully) been fixed.

I'm having one last go at the failing Pg test, and if I don't get anywhere
with it I'm just commenting it out for now as it's testing an undocumented
feature anyway!
