Both are available on > CPAN. 1 - I would like some references to exactly what you mean by "Enterprise Object style layer available for use on top of a relational database". Are there some online papers I could read? 2 - You should join [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the perl-object-oriented persistence list (http://poop.sourceforge.net) to discuss this. You are asking this question on a list devoted to Perl and Mac OS X and many people, including the authors of the above-mentioned modules and a few others to come by recently did not see it because it is posted in the wrong place. 3 - The Alzabo approach, per Dave Rolsky's request is slowly being de-Alzabo-ed into a bunch of general modules which Alzabo-proper will use. The lowest layer is SQL::Catalog, already on CPAN. Then will come BusinessObject. Then will come Object::Cache and DBIx::DBMSRules. > > -Ken > > Jeff Hallgren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Is there a perl Enterprise Object style layer available for use on top >> of a relational database?
