If it works for CDBI then it's probably not a useful point in
distinguishing between CDBI and DBIx::Class, but for reference, this has
to do with calling Ima::DBI queries directly, right?  And the issue is
that if you execute the same query twice with different bind parameters,
prepare_cached() will reuse the statement handle, and throw away the
results from the first execution?

If the data is small, reading it all at once from the first handle would
be a workaround for this.  If it's too big for that, you'd need to avoid
prepare_cached.  In that case, you'd have to modify your set_sql call
for this query to pass the "don't cache me" flag.  I don't think you'd
need to change any of the other set_sql queries, or modify any
Class::DBI code because of this.
