I'm trying to decide between Tie::DBI and Class::DBI, and I would like to know your opinions about the relative merits of these two choices. (I'm leaning towards Tie::DBI, because it looks more straightforward, but the fact that Class::DBI appears to be far more popular makes me wonder if I'm missing something.)

Alzabo is my O/R (object-relational) mapping of choice. It does everything I could ever use, and even has quite a bit of smarts about it. Also keep in mind that what is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular. You might indeed decide to go with CDBI because of that very popularity (more software tends to be written to take advantage of it than Alzabo or TDBI), but I do suggest you try Alzabo.
