I'm considering trying to port Ruby's ActiveRecord to Perl

me a message privately and we'll coordinate.
What I found missing in DBIx::Class is AR method find_by_sql(sql).
We use catalyst&dbix for months (kind of data-warehouse project), but
rewriting complex, read-only SQL statements to dbix/perl notation is for
me a waste of time (when editing & updating tables with ORM is so fast
to code and intuitive).
However is it worth to build just-another-orm for perl when DBIx::Class
is not so far to be really good one?
Maybe not. Or maybe we could write a wrapper to give more of an AR
interface.
I'm currently trying to decide on Catalyst or Rails for a new project.
I like the flexibility of Catalyst (and love Perl), but I'm attracted to
a lot of the design decisions in Rails (I like the fact, for example,
that ActiveRecord::Validations supports data validation in the model,
just like we were discussing in a previous thread).
So part of me would like to see a more Rails-like layer on top of
Catalyst.
