Not only has it been done before, it has been done much better than you will do it. If you were experimenting, I’d say, “Hells yeah, go for it and have fun!” But if this is really for work, “You are making a huge mistake and you are punishing the future developers who will hate you for it if they have any sense at all.”

DBIx::Class (just for one, and there are other excellent ORMs in Perl) works out of the gate with all the common DBDs, it has oodles of support tools for auto-generation of code, introspection, inflation, versioning, helpers, constrainers, dumping, deployment, etc, and it comes with a community, a stable history, and a test suite that concludes as of this moment with– 

Files=251, Tests=5141, 152 wallclock secs ( 2.20 usr  1.28 sys + 125.6
+3 cusr 13.35 csys = 142.46 CPU)
Result: PASS

If you can conjure 5,000 passing tests for your new code, I withdraw my objection.
