Class::DBI isn't a database abstraction layer and its authors never intended it to be. It's just a library for saving some typing on the kind of repetitive SQL that you could write but shouldn't have to. On the projects where I've used it, I just switched over to manual SQL any time I needed to deal with something beyond single-table CRUD statements. If you don't expect too much from it, it can be a time-saver.

If you read the archives of the mailings list, Schwern and Tony both talk about how it's not intended to hide anything about the database. They don't even like to call it an ORM.	[reply]
