Answering the question about autogenerating simple CRUD apps - there is of course Catalyst::Example::InstantCRUD.
To the arguments that autogenerated CRUD becomes quickly crap I answer that it is much easier to modify a working example than to code from scratch. You have more control of where you are heading - while with working from scratch you are taking a long course without any checkpoints before you reach the destination. The long course might look temptingly simple - but my whole experience convinces me that usually it looks so simple only because we don't forsee too many details. -- Zbyszek Big steps in software development is always On 11/8/06, marcus baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In a primarily Perl shop I've joined, Django has become all the rage. Everyone into it is amazed at the templating capabilities and the database abstraction layer (...they obviously hadn't really done much with the Template Toolkit, or even heard of Class::DBI or DBIx::Class). Django's all fine and lovely, but personally I still prefer Catalyst due to the vastness of the CPAN library I can use behind it. The one thing about Django that keeps them from looking anywhere else is it's ability to create data-editing forms on the fly based on the data model. In an attempt to get them to consider Catalyst a little more, I was wondering if Catalyst has this kind of capability anywhere... Is this something I should take to the CDBI/DBIxC lists specifically?
