I think I'm being extra simple tonight as I still don't get this.

Class::DBI already lets you restrict a has_many:

  Music::Artist->has_many(cds => 'Music::CD');
  my @cds = $artist->cds(year => 1980);

What does the other stuff give over this?

Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.

Class::DBI isn't really about storing objects in a database. It's about
going the other way.
