The support for Rose::DB::Object is fantastic. Very helpful author and plenty of other contributors on the mailing list.

That's what I heard .. and the speaker last night did mention he'd started to see some postings on jobs.perl.org asking for Rose .. that's always promising.

There may be some kind of generation gap with IRC. To me, it seems like a horrible way to get answers to tricky technical questions: no useful archive, tons of noise, and a general time sink. However, other people obviously like it.

Going to an IRC channel for technical support is a bit of a leap of faith. I visit #perl irregularly, but enough that I know and avoid the idiots, and also know who the knowledgeable folks are. Not unlike seeing Congress or Parliament in action, I suppose -- there's a lot of talking going on, but surprisingly, some of it is significant and meaningful. It's even a bit like fishing .. some days, you get lucky, and some days, the fish just aren't biting. Not that I have the patience for fishing. Sailing, yes. Fishing, no.

I'd recommend skipping SQL::Abstract and using the query builder from Rose::DB::Object instead. It's generic and can be used to build more sophisticated SQL than SQL::Abstract.

Coming from you, I'll buy that. Looks like there's no yum package, so I'm running CPAN to install it. Thanks for the feedback.
