I initially figured there was something else wrong in the Model code
causing that, but as it turns out there was instead something wrong
with related code (which I also wrote, so unfortunately nowhere to
pass the blame here :) ) in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI causing it.  So
the total fallout now that I've committed a fix for that is:

1) Ignore the "non-numeric" warning.  It will go away on release
versions and nothing wrong actually happens here, by sheer luck.  That
whole if test will be going away in a future version anyways, as soon
as DBIx::Class 0.07 series has been out in the real world for long
enough to bump Model's dependency.

2) If you install the svn version of DBIx-Class-current (or the next
dev release), things should work correctly.

If you can't install the svn version and just want a quick hack, you
can edit those "if $DBIx::Class::VERSION" lines and convince the Model
that the installed version of DBIx::Class is in fact < 0.069 (so set
them to true).
