Ok, no wonder I couldn't create a dummy test case. What happened was this - I already had a number of rudimentary RDBO objects that I'd created manually.
In this particular case, I had a table 'user' and a table 'company', with a FK relationship between user.company_id and company.company_id. All of this was already properly created by hand following RDBO best-practices, with RDBO::User and RDBO::Company in my @INC. What would happen was that I would run: my $loader = Rose::DB::Object::Loader->new( db => My::DBH->new(), base_class => 'My', class_prefix => 'My::', with_foreign_keys => 1, with_relationships => 1, with_unique_keys => 1, with_managers => 1, module_dir => $output_dir, ); $loader->make_modules(); And I would get the following error: Can't override class My::User::Manager which already appears to be defined. at /home/peter/dev/proj/trunk/CPAN_lib/Rose/DB/Object/Loader.pm line 947 If I disabled with_managers, things would execute to completion, but then the resulting user module would be created with a double entry for primary keys as follows: primary_key_columns => [ 'user_id', 'user_id' ], Which was extremely confusing. It was just now that I removed the previously-created RDBO::User object that I created by hand a while back, and now everything works properly. Doh.
