add_to_* is a Class::DBI feature. See class::dbi docs for that.

Don't worry you're not alone. It took me several months learning Class::DBI,
TT, and Maypole to get where i was confortable with it. 4 months later, i'm
still learning new things.   I think most people here will tell you its worth
struggling through if you feel it's right for you're app. Except Sebastian .
He'll try to convert you to Catalyst :) . I myself was too burnt from all
months of crawling through docs and figuring out what did what that i didn't
want to see anything new so didn't look much at catalyst. However, i'm sure its
good. I plan on looking at it after a long vacation without my computer
sometime. 

p.s. See the class::dbi wiki for cool class dbi tricks. www.class-dbi.com
