From this particular description it sounds like you misunderstand what DBIx::Class does out of the box and what it can do with plugins/customization.

Have you tried it? Do you know it does all those joins and such, in deep, flexible, beautiful ways with chained resultsets, and can do things like manage transactions with nothing but variable scope? Twice in the last few years I’ve been stuck with legacy code written under the auspices of NIH syndrome and I really hold a grudge against the developers who made those choices and wasted weeks and weeks of my time that could have been productive, just chasing bugs and dealing with edge cases. For the future “me”s out there, I’m begging, investigate your options. There are many.
