Yes, I like that. One issue is that the table2class() differs from 
Class::DBI::Loader. E.g.

table: hello-world
CDBI::AutoLoader: HelloWorld
CDBI::Loader: Hello-world    # this is an invalid package name

table: hello__world
CDBI::AutoLoader: HelloWorld
CDBI::Loader: Hello_World

I'll look into this further.
