If you want something that "just works", try something other than DBIx::Class, which is alpha, generally under heavy development, and at any given point doesn't really work the way the documentation says it should.

We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

    It's things like this that the (limited) documentation (for Catalyst) doesn't make clear, the only thing Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIC says is:

    For best performance when using roles, DBIx::Class models are recommended. By using DBIx::Class you will benefit from optimized SQL using joins that can retrieve roles for a user with a single SQL statement.

    And I have yet to see any example code/tutorials that uses something besides SQLite.

    That's progress for you. Yes, if you don't like moving goalposts, then don't use it for a bit yet. We've stabilised quite a bit with 0.05, and now the docs need to catch up. A lot of it has improved recently, but some is still out of date.

    On the other hand, people are using it in production environments, and seem to be doing ok. I guess it's up to the individual to choose.

    .. And we're going to hit 1.0 by 2007, right Matt? ;)
