in reply to Database application development with Perl
The glue between these can be CGI::FormBuilder (and its wrapper module, for example Catalyst::Plugin::FormBuilder for Catalyst).
However, this module knows nothing about databases, you have to describe the fields of your form in a YAML-like file. Also, your controler tends to end up with a lot of "was this form submitted? did it validate? then push it to DBIC" boilerplate code.
I believe it wouldn't be too hard to write a DRY wrapper around FormBuilder, though, because most of the required information can already be found in the OO-relational mapper.
