I'm in a situation where I need to create a fairly large number of web applications to do basic CRUD web applications for a large number of database tables. The tables involved don't have similar schemas. This is basically to generate the first cut at an admin area for a web application.

I'm thinking of writing something to generate the applications in code that uses CGI::Prototype as I like it's "feel", but I'm not tied to it.

The database is well designed in Postgres. I'm primarily looking at just considering single table applications which don't worry about master-detail relationships. I only mention this because I think that databases that allow definitions of foreign key constraints might allow upgrades of the application of describing to master-detail and other complex relationships.

While I think this is something useful to play with, I'm wondering if there are applications out there that will generate CRUD appliations as Perl CGI scripts? Of course, it'd be nice if it could do master-detail and other more complex things as well.

Have any of you learned monks come across such a beast? Any advice on building one?
