I have to just rant a bit about that. The most difficult thing about
catalyst is trying to learn dbic.
Except that's not a "thing about catalyst". You don't need to use
DBIC. It's a
popular choice, sure, but if you think that something else would be
eaiser,
then go for it. Use Rose, invent your own wheel, or do what $WORK
does and
write a model that does nothing but stored-procedure calls (straight
DBI and
some glue). DBIC isn't required for using catalyst, it's just the
standard
choice for doing what DBIC does -- which most people find rather
useful.
But many of the examples do use DBIC, so not being able to read or
modify DBIC means you can't read or modify those examples either.
It's a doc thing, rather than a framework thing, but I understand
where Ali is coming from.
Cheers,
Steve
