Before you're getting shot down for this question, I'll quickly jump in with an answer :) DBIx is just a (CPAN) namespace for all sorts of modules: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=DBIx&mode=module One of those modules happens to be DBIx::Class. To avoid confusion between the namespace DBIx and the specific module DBIx::Class the official acronym is DBIC. > I hear that application development is faster with a framework.

Definitely! The learning curve is steep but it will almost certainly pay off in the long run. The code you'll come up with eventually will be cleaner and based on an (often well)-documented architecture. It will let you concentrate on your business logic instead of having to deal with the difficult details. --Tobias _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.grokbase.com/group/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
