=3D=3DIt does ... perl -e 'use Scalar::Util qw(weaken)'

Not sure, but my usage is pretty simple:
__PACKAGE__->columns(Primary =3D> qw/id /);

I am surprised to find that I can rip out all the relationships
(except has_a(Prefs) of course) and triggers and still get this
result. Here's the boiled-down CDBI portions of my three classes:
User, Prefs, and Page -- User and Prefs are both subclasses of Page.

-------------------------------------------------------------
package Reef::M::DBI::Page;
use base 'Reef::M::DBI';

__PACKAGE__->table('page');
__PACKAGE__->columns(Primary =3D> qw/id /);
__PACKAGE__->columns(Essential =3D> qw/page_type
                                     created
                                     edit_date
                                     edit_by
                                     user_owner
                                     club_owner
                                     permissions
                                     locked_since
                                     locked_by
                                     title
                                     body
                                     home_page
                                     username
                                     password
                                     prefs
                                     shelf
                                    /);

----------------------------------------------------------
package Reef::M::DBI::Page::User;
use base 'Reef::M::DBI::Page';

__PACKAGE__->has_a(prefs =3D> 'Reef::M::DBI::Page::Prefs');

-----------------------------------------------------------
package Reef::M::DBI::Page::Prefs;
use base 'Reef::M::DBI::Page';

-----------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your help!
