I've just uploaded richard hundts and my IsA relationship module for C::DBI.
I'm pretty pleased - I think it fixes the major bugs raised so far and also includes inheritance of CDBI relationships.
It is still experimental and I'm afraid I finished it on the train and uploaded after midnight and a glass of nice scotch.
Anyway - its significantly better than before and I think it is now actually quite useful. I am currently using it for a fairly exciting and stretching C::DBI based project that I can now make a lot more progress on.
