Ovid has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Using DBIx::Class and I have a resultset which needs to be filtered by data which cannot be generated by SQL. What I need to do is something effectively equivalent to this hypothetical example:

my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Service')->search(\%search +); my $new_resultset = $resultset->filter( sub { my $web_service = shift; return $web_service->is_available; } );

Reading through the docs gives me no clue how to accomplish a strategy like this.

    Can't you just do something like this:
    my $resultset = grep { WS->new($_->id)->is_available; } $schema->resultset('Service')->search(\%search);
    update
    Not sure of how $web_service is linked to your app. I guess I'm trying to say that I utilize grep for simple filters.
