Handel help!

MiggyMan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi guys, I'm taking my first look at handel and I'm having trouble from the get go, I've setup a test module as per the instructions and it installed ok, the database has been created and seems to be ok however when i try and run the simplest test script it fails on "The supplied field(s) failed database constraints: Check Shopper(shopper)"

use carttest::Cart;
    
    my $cart = carttest::Cart->create({
        shopper   => 'D597DEED-5B9F-11D1-8DD2-00AA004ABD5E',
        name => 'MyCart'
    })
[download]

The documentation for handle is a little thin on the ground and i've yet to find much in the way of examples for using handel stand alone!

Help!

I have never used Handel, however the second result of a google search was Building E-Commerce Sites with Handel which is from 2005, but it looks like a fairly comprehensive introduction with examples. Martin	[reply]

I've seen it, unfortunately it's geared around catalyst rather than standalone so it's not much help! Ta none the less :p	[reply]

What's the problem with using Handel with Catalyst? It's going to give you something much more robust and reusable, not to mention hugely scalable. meh.	[reply]
