I did a quick test on one of my classes, and I'm not getting the warning
I thought I would, but I don't really understand why not.
Class::Accessor looks like it defines the methods *before* your own
methods, since it happens when you call set_up_table() or list the
columns.  I must be missing something here.  It's not really that
important though, since there a number of techniques that seem to work
for this.
