DBIx::Class is its more modern and much better alternative/re-implementation. Regarding the advantage of using an Object Relational Mapper ( ORM - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_mapping ) instead of traditional DBI - I suppose it is the same as any other abstraction: once you learn it, it may be easier to write code using it, require less programming effort and less code. The possible downside is that, as abstractions go, it may be leaky - http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/LeakyAbstractions.html - and/or quirky - http://shlomif-tech.livejournal.com/49510.html , or just plain buggy.
