Hmm, lots of dependencies == Class::Factory::Util - pure Perl DBI - you already have this Digest::MD5 - pretty widely used and well-tested across many platforms Exception::Class - pure Perl Params::Validate - AFAIK, it compiles everwhere Perl does, and PPMs are available Scalar::Util - core as of 5.6.x Test::Simple - core as of 5.6.x Test::Harness 1.26+ - pure Perl Tie::IxHash - core since forever Time::HiRes - core since 5.6.x (or is it 5.8.x)? plus an appropriate DBD::* module. That's really not a lot. So what exactly is the dependency you can't afford to fill? Anyway, have you also looked at DBIx::DBSchema? > My questions to the module authors are: Has this been done before and I > missed the simple solution to this problem? Otherwise, is this idea a Yes, of course it's been done before. There's Alzabo and DBIx::DBSchema, to name two (actually, the only two I know of). -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
