in reply to Dancer2, DBIx::Class and HTML::FormFu: showing database record in html-form to edit
Hi, search in scalar context returns the resultset, not a record. Try:
my $client = resultset('Client') ->search( { 'client_id' => $id }, { join => ['country'], } ) ->first;
(Also note the DBIx doc recommends use of prefetch rather than join when your join includes all the columns from the joined table.)

Hope this helps!
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
