## DESCRIPTION

This is the `"Class::DBI"` model class. It's built on top of  `"Class::DBI::Loader"`. `"Class::DBI"` is generally not used for new applications, with `"DBIx::Class"` being preferred instead. As such this model is deprecated and (mostly) unmaintained.

It is preserved here for older applications which still need it for backwards compatibility.

### new

Initializes Class::DBI::Loader and loads classes using the class config. Also attempts to borg all the classes.
