IMHO, project managers tend to tell you things like that,
and then then tell you they have another dog. I find it a
generally good idea to start with object models from the
beginning. And if your objects need to be persistent and
have storage associated with them, start with DBIx::Class
from the beginning, don't try to add that later after you've
written "simple" data getters/setters. ;-)
