This is all very interesting, as usual with Perl, everything looks rather odd at first when looking at the DBIx::Recordset documentation. I would assume that is it being more widely used than DBIx::Abstract since it is designed to work with EMBPerl. Anyway, thank you for the input and I will most likely look into using DBIx::Recordset mainly because it appears to be the most widely supported. The thing I liked about DBIx::Abstract is that it appears to handle complex where clauses very well. That is always the trouble that I run into with DB abstractions, they always have some major limitation that causes me to ues whatever fallback "query" method they have for things that cannot be done with the abstraction. DBIx::Recordset appears to be pretty robust, are there any major limiations of this abstraction? Also, is there a lot of added overhead with using this abstraction? Thanks for the input.

As you know DBIx::Recordset is Gerald's other brainchild (EMBPerl being his first). As such, the two work very well together. You can chain form data from Embperl in Recordset in a snap. You can create forms which turn into the database queries in a snap.
I recently made some DBIx::Recorset "living documentation" :

so that you can have working samples of Recordset code to play with.
