Hi, If you already have an array of tag row objects, then you want to do something like this: 
@with = map { $_->id } @with;
@without = map { $_->id } @without;

my @articles = $schema->resultset('articles')->search({}, 
 { join => { 'articlelinks' => 'tag' },
   tag.tag => { '-not_in' => \@without, '-in' => \@with } });

This is basically an SQL::Abstract construct, look there for details.

(Untested!)

C.

Update: Fixed code.. maybe

PS: This will return all articles with any of the tags in @with, there's a discussion going on in #dbix-class as to whether you wanted any, or all of them..

Please give an example of the SQL you'd like to produce, for further help
