        }

        if (assert_similar_namespaces('MyApp::Schema::Person', 'FooApp::Schema::People')) {

              return 'foo_bar' if $field eq 'foo.bar';

DESCRIPTION

       A collection of various helper utilities for DBIx::Class stuff.  Probably only useful for
       components.

EXPORTS

   order_by_visitor
       This function allows you to easily transform "order_by" clauses. See "SYNOPSIS" for
       example.

   get_namespace_parts
       Returns the namespace and class name of a package.  See "SYNOPSIS" for example.

   is_load_namespaces
       Returns true if a package is structured in a way that would work for load_namespaces.  See
       "SYNOPSIS" for example.

   is_not_load_namespaces
       Returns true if a package is structured in a way that would not work for load_namespaces.
       See "SYNOPSIS" for example.

   assert_similar_namespaces
       Dies if both packages are structured in the same way.  The same means both are
       load_namespaces or both are not.  See "SYNOPSIS" for example.

   normalize_connect_info
       Takes all of the various and interesting forms that can be passed to connect and
       normalizes them into the final and simplest form, a single hashref.
