 =head1 QUICKSTART
 
 If you're using Class::DBI, replacing
 
-use base qw/Class::DBI/;
+  use base qw/Class::DBI/;
 
 with
 
-use base qw/DBIx::Class::CDBICompat DBIx::Class::Core/;
+  use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
+  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/CDBICompat Core DB/);
 
 will probably get you started.
 
 If you're using AUTO_INCREMENT for your primary columns, you'll also want
-PK::Auto and an appropriate PK::Auto::DBName (e.g. ::SQLite).
+yo load the approriate PK::Auto subclass - e.g.
+
+  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/CDBICompat PK::Auto::SQLite Core DB/);
+
+(with is what ::Test::SQLite does to present the Class::DBI::Test::SQLite
+interface)
 
 If you fancy playing around with DBIx::Class from scratch, then read the docs
 for ::Table and ::Relationship,
 
-use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
+  use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
+  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core DB/);
 
 and have a look at t/lib/DBICTest.pm for a brief example.
