It looks like you manually describe table relationships instead of having a "Loader" class figure all this out. At any rate, a full set of code samples for all common CRUD operations against the Sakila database is a welcome submission to DBIx::Cookbook. The example for fetching all records are shown for Rose::DB::Object, DBIx::Skinny and DBIx::Class - http://search.cpan.org/~tbone/DBIx-Cookbook-0.07/lib/DBIx/Cookbook/Recipe/Searching/fetch_all.pod I did many more operations for DBIx::Class. > > Does this belong in CPAN (once it's finished off and polished a decent bit > more)? > why not? and what does "DTO" stand for? > > > > Thanks, > > > > -- > Paul Bennett (PWBENNETT) >
