+=head1 NAME
+
+DBIx::Class::Cursor - Abstract object representing a query cursor on a
+resultset.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  my $cursor = $schema->resultset('CD')->cursor();
+
+  # raw values off the database handle in resultset columns/select order
+  my @next_cd_column_values = $cursor->next;
+
+  # list of all raw values as arrayrefs
+  my @all_cds_column_values = $cursor->all;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+A Cursor represents a query cursor on a L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet> object. It
+allows for traversing the result set with L</next>, retrieving all results with
+L</all> and resetting the cursor with L</reset>.
+
+Usually, you would use the cursor methods built into L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>
+to traverse it. See L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/next>,
+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/reset> and L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/all> for more
+information.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 new
+
+Virtual method. Returns a new L<DBIx::Class::Cursor> object.
+

+
 sub new {
   die "Virtual method!";
 }
 
+=head2 next
+
+Virtual method. Advances the cursor to the next row. Returns an array of
+column values (the result of L<DBI/fetchrow_array> method).
+
+=cut

 sub next {
   die "Virtual method!";
 }
 
+=head2 reset
+
+Virtual method. Resets the cursor to the beginning.
+
+=cut
+
 sub reset {
   die "Virtual method!";
 }
 
+=head2 all
+
+Virtual method. Returns all rows in the L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>.
+
+=cut
+
+sub all {
+  my ($self) = @_;
+  $self->reset;
+  my @all;
+  while (my @row = $self->next) {
