I think your right. It is confusing. At a guess, I would say label and
year are relations/accessors to other tables. If that were the case,
your album table class would define accessors to another tables that
has attributes label and year.
Perhaps a better place to start with DBIx::Class is the example[1].
Also it is worth pointing out that there is a specific mail list for
DBIx::Class [2]. I should also point out that the DBIx mailing list is
not a list for asking about perl beginners questions. There is an
expectation that you will have read the documentation and have an
understanding of OO perl. Having said that, they are always keen to
make their documentation clear and I think you have found an paragraph
that could use some revision.
HTH,
