It's a normal Class::DBI search you can get the results either as a list or as an iterator. .SS "cascade" .IX Subsection "cascade" .Vb 1 \& $strategy\->cascade($obj); .Ve .PP Cascade across the related objects to \f(CW$obj\fR. .SH "WRITING NEW STRATEGIES" .IX Header "WRITING NEW STRATEGIES" Creating a Cascade strategy should be fairly simple. You usually just need to inherit from here, and then supply a \fBcascade()\fR method that does the required thing with the results from \fBforeign_for()\fR. .PP So, for example, Cascade::Delete is implemented simply as: .PP .Vb 1 \& package Class::DBI::Cascade::Delete; \& \& use base \*(AqClass::DBI::Cascade::None\*(Aq; \& \& sub cascade { \& my ($self, $obj) = @_; \& $self\->foreign_for($obj)\->delete_all; \& } .Ve
