Accessor methods, custom packages, relationships, joins,
group_by, ->next, ->single and more...
Also, DBIx::ResultSet is clearly not an ORM.

I contacted the DBIx::ResultSet maintainer last year and sent
him a long e-mail with ideas and patches for new features. I got
no answer.
After a couple months, I tried again. Still no answer.
Then I tried again. And no answer.
After waiting for a bunch of months, I decided I had tried
enough and it was time to design something different (this time
an ORM) and put my ideas there since I wasn't able to contribute
them to the said existing module.
I hope this answers your questions. :)
