Because I thought that the Compat API was complete, and I don't know the
DBIx::Class API.

I've tried replacing the DBBase->set_db() call with  a call to
DBBase->connection(), but then I get this error the first time I try to
use one of my CDBI classes:
Can't call method "storage" on an undefined value at
C:/Perl/site/lib/DBIx/Class/ResultSource.pm line 411.

Has this every come up before? I didn't find anything in the mailing
list archive ...
