If database is specified in connect+repl, table_list method cannot be located

[jdrab]

Hi, I don't know if this is really a bug or I'm doing something wrong but I would like to use table_list method with repl. It looks like i have to specify database even though i did it in connect method.

this code does work.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Rethinkdb;
use Data::Dumper;

r->connect('192.168.4.69', 28015)->repl;

my @tables = r->db('test')->table_list()->run();
print Dumper(\@tables);

but this doesn't work (Can't locate object method "table_list" via package "Rethinkdb")

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Rethinkdb;
use Data::Dumper;

# i would like to list tables from database 'test'
r->connect('192.168.4.69', 28015,'test')->repl;

my @tables = r->table_list()->run();
print Dumper(\@tables);

what I tried is basically to copy-paste method table_list from Rethinkdb::Query::Database into Rethinkdb.pm and it worked.

I just wanted to know if this is desired behavior and i have to call db before doing table_list() or is it really a bug?

I try to provide a similar API as the official drivers and, for whatever reason, it looks like you have to specify which database you want to list the tables on (http://rethinkdb.com/api/python/#table_list).

I believe there use to be a r->table_list method but it got removed from the official drivers and I removed it from this one.
