+1. A::T has helped me to write my code, to catch errors that I've introduced while adding new features, and to do code refactoring (which I've done quite a bit of as I learn to use Class::DBI). It took me awhile to get the gist of it (as you can read if you look back in the docs-dev mailling list) but it was worth the effort. Start with Geoff's article and skeleton; you'll avoid many of the potholes I hit along the way.
