I've used the join facility in Alzabo for only trivial things but so far it handles things ok.

I've just altered the node and added an example from my own code where I use Alzabo's join facility. You'll see it right inside the while() loop.

sub display_address {
    my $self = shift;

    my $tmpl   = $self->load_tmpl( 'display_address.tmpl' );
    my $schema = $self->param( 'schema' );
    my $q      = $self->query;

    # Retrieve the parameters
    my $street = $q->param( 'street' );
    my $house  = $q->param( 'house' );

    my @people;
    {
        my $roster = $schema->Roster;
        my $history = $schema->History;
        my $roster_fk = $history->RosterFk;
        my $election = $schema->Election;
        my $election_date = $election->Date;
        my $election_desc = $election->Desc;

        my $people = $roster->rows_where(
            where => [ [ $roster->StreetFk,    '=', $street ],
                       [ $roster->HouseNumber, '=', $house ] ],
            order_by => [ $roster->Name ] );

        # Retrieve the result set into an array
        while (my $person = $people->next) {
            my @votes = $schema->join(
                join     => [ $history, $election ],
                select   => [ $election ],
                where    => [ $roster_fk, '=', $person->SosId ],
                order_by => [ $election_date, $election_desc ],
                )->all_rows;

            # Fetch the values from the selected data
            @votes = map $_->Date.': '.$_->Desc, @votes;

            push @people, { History => join("<br />",@votes),
                            Name => $person->Name };
        }
    }

    $tmpl->param('people', \ @people);

    return $tmpl->output;
}
