Thanks for this. Having had great difficulty trying to install Rose, I'm now having a look at DBIx class. But I was interested in your comment on Catalyst which I've seen mentioned in a variety of places. I've tried to read up on it and see that it is supposed to be good. However, I must confess to not understanding at all what it does. Is there anyone out there who can explain in almost layman's terms why it's useful and what it does?

It looks rather complicated and big. Given that I just want to BREAD using HTML forms, is it worth enduring the learning curve? i.e. should I be using Catalyst or is this a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
