You could have a machine without Catalyst installed that has an older perl
interpreter that my model works with but Catalyst won't.

More importantly, what is the benefit of inheriting from Catalyst::Model? I
write my own model base class and inherit from that, just because I find
CDBI and other base classes are often too abstract and too magical for me to
control performance-wise. It's easier for me to write efficient model code
when I know precisely what is happening. Am I missing out on something by
not inheriting from Catalyst::Model?
