I recently moved a project to DBIx::Class and also missed actually being
able to understand what was going on.  I also had to abandon, at least
for a while, some of my hack-ons.

The move was due to namespace cleanliness that I couldn't work out
how to do with CDBI, but was somewhat easier in DBIC.  I also felt that
it might be better to go with what seems to be the future.
I had the help/guidance of a more experienced DBIC user,
making my life easier.

I have some hacks that could also go in a Class::DBI::Sweet::Topping::Cherry,
but I'm not keen on maintaining them.  It's just more useful to have the
code "out there" than in my attic.

The thing I actually wanted to mention is that the CDBICompat plugin
of DBIx::Class could suit your situation.  I didn't go via that route,
but it certainly seems worth considering as a backup plan.
