Just a note - DBIx-Class should not be called "DBIx" alone. DBIx is the top- level-namespace for DBI extensions, and it also includes such things as: * http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Simple/ * http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Log4perl/ * http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Chart/ Calling DBIx-Class "DBIx" does injustice to them all and is incorrect. DBIx- Class however, may be abbreviated as DBIC.
