Hi there, Thanks a lot for you answer! Although it did not exactly answer my question it taught me a LOT about DBIC that I did not know yet. Thanks for that! What I was actually looking for was fetching all many_to_many related objects without exactly knowing the names of the relations. I have solved it by doing:

    my @related_models;
    # fetch relations from model. By doing it this way when new many_t
+o_many relations are created, the controller automatically picks them
+ up
    my @relations = $self->schema->source('Document')->relationships()
+;
    foreach (@relations) {
        if ($_ =~ m/(^.*)_documents$/) {
            push @related_models, $1;
        }
    }

    foreach (@related_models) {
            my ($relObj) = $object->$_(); #Assume only one object refe
+rs to this one (business logic)
            if ($relObj) {
                $row{relatedObject} = $relObj->name();
                $row{relatedObjectId} = $relObj->id();
                $row{relatedObjectType} = $relObj->_source_handle->sou
+rce_moniker; # Why is getting the source Name so difficult?
            }
        }
        push @data, \%row;
    }

Again thanks for the very informative reply!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
