Have a look at Kaare Rasmussen's Business::Bof, which provides the ability
to server @arbitrary_perl_classes over SOAP, including CDBI - and which he's
now planning to port to DBIx::Class.

Also note that DBIx::Class keeps the storage layer properly encapsulated
behind the Storage and Cursor interfaces (unlike CDBI ...) so if
anybody fancies writing DBIx::Class::Storage::REST then I'd be happy to
help out.
