I suspect Class::DBI will be around for quite a bit longer than you think. No need to spread FUD about it's demize. There is a huge community built up around it, and lots of development still happening in the plugin space. There are still a few shortcomings in the core code, but the code is very stable and used in production all over the place. And despite the issues witnessed last month, I'm sure a new version will come out.

On the other hand, DBIx::Class seems to still be in the experimental stages AFAIK. And the fact that it is entirely based on Multiple Inheritance magic using @ISA tricks gives me the willies... That is personal opinion, and does not necesarily mean DBIx::Class is crap, but is something to keep in mind!
