Please have a look at how DBIx::Class -current handles this - we've already
done significant work towards exactly what you describe and I'd rather you
extracted out our work into something we could depend on than see you
re-write the same code.

Also, would you be interested in svn space for this? I'd be a little worried
about making DBIx::Class depend on somebody I've never heard of in case they
were hit by a bus or similar - keeping it in our svn has allowed us to recover
from 'developer vanished' problems on other modules before ...

If you'd like to continue this discussion, please can we switch to the DBIC
list? I'm only replying here for consistency within the thread :)
