I'm not sure what exactly it is you're wanting. The mnesia examples don't look very impressive compared to some of the things I've seen done with Perl. So I may be missing your point here, but I'll mention some options for you to consider besides DBI and the DBIx modules.
If you don't need it to be relational, what's wrong with tied hashes, DBM::Deep, Persistent, or Storable? Is Rosetta more what you'd like?
After a quick look at CPAN's tools for data persistence that don't seem to involve SQL or RDBMS software, XML::Simple, Data::Table, AsciiDB::TagFile, DBM::DBass, DBM::Any, and Data::CTable look interesting, too.
Tie::LDAP gives you directory service access instead of a database interface, which could come in quite handy for data with complex schemata that get updated infrequently.
