RE: Reblessing question: change primary key name?

D'oh!

Must've been messing up something different before: manually setting the
new key, clearing __Changed and removing the old key from Essential in
the subclass does exactly what I want.

Thanks anyway,
Dmitri

This stuff happens at compile time.  It seems like re-blessing would do=20
what you want though.  What's going wrong?

I'm not sure why it would involve overloading.  You can just grab the=20
data from one object and construct() another of a different class from
it.

Also, have you looked at Class::DBI::Relationship::IsA?
