[Dbix-class] using overload in a resultset object

[Andrew Main]

The DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook has a brief note:

http://search.cpan.org/~mstrout/DBIx-Class-0.05007/lib/DBIx/Class/Manual/Cookbook.pod#Stringification

I do something like this, but there could be a better way:

####################

package Foo::DBIC::SalesRep;
use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/ PK::Auto::SQLite Core/);

__PACKAGE__->table('sales_rep');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw( id first_name last_name active));
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');

sub full_name
{
	my ($self) = @_;
	return $self->last_name . ', ' . $self->first_name;
}

use overload '""' => 'full_name', fallback => 1;

1;
