I didn't know about Catalyst::View::Mason, thanks. Btw, this is related to the point of my post, it is hard to RTFM if you don't know where the FM is. Or rather, the FM I knew of was about TT rather than Mason.
And incidentally, you're wrong about DBIC. As soon as you get into queries for related tables, DBIC will be reducing the amount of code you need to write (and the number of potential screwups) tenfold.
I hesitate to make predictions like this. I don't know DBIC, and you don't know my queries. I know that I find SQL no harder than Perl, and that I appreciate being able to experiment with queries with phpMyAdmin. So I can't help but wonder if it really makes sense to use a Perl module to write the SQL for me rather than write the SQL directly. How would you tell DBIC to use a sub query or to use a temporary table? Is it hard?
