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

I am interested in either locating or creating a class to represent what is most easily described as the text of a wiki node (though able to be used more flexibly). The idea is that metadata would be associated in the object to allow for methods like $node->update, $node->format, etc. without having to lug around objects which represent the system itself. Presently I'm leaning towards borrowing heavily from Wiki::Toolkit and interfacing with DBIx::Class but laziness compels me to first ask if anyone has any suggested modules. Thank You.
