As pop mentioned, SPOPS is moving along. PostgreSQL support will be in the next version (0.40) which should be released today or tomorrow (June 9-10). I've been using it for a month or so and it's given me no problems. It also supports Sybase ASE/ASA and MS SQL Server (thru DBD::ODBC on Win32). Other database support probably isn't that difficult -- the main differences are auto-generating primary keys and ensuring that the DBD driver supports datatype value binding.
One of the features of SPOPS (and Class::DBI AFAIK) is that you can retrofit an object representation to existing data. That is: you don't need to modify your schema to use SPOPS. Accessing legacy data is a major strength of Perl, and this makes it easier...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
