Mostly one of the 'silent majority', tho :-) (Plus, we met at last
year's YAPC -- sheesh, the memories on some people! ;-)
(Sidenote: how many folks are going to YAPC this year?)

(gee, that sounds like an invitation to get out the...)

SPOPS is built to map objects to relational databases, or other data
stores. If you're just getting/setting object properties and
persistence (create/update/fetch/remove) along with relationships
among the objects, you don't even need to write any Perl code. Just
some fairly simple configuration info. Plus you can (if you wish) get
per-object security for free.
IMO, it also works quite well in an environment where you need to
retrofit a framework onto an existing datastore, since SPOPS doesn't
require special fields or tables (unless you're using security).
