I misspoke, there does seem to be one CPAN object-relational package that has some documention and support for inheritance mapping: Tangram. See for example:
http://search.cpan.org/~samv/Tangram-2.09_01/lib/Tangram/Relational/Mappings.pod But Tangram has its own issues, which have always prevented me from using it in its several years of existence: - relatively inactive project - GPL, not Perl license - no update support - its own object ids; no support for tables with multiple or zero primary keys - inferior sql abstraction (as compared to modules that do just that) It really is sad that Java has not one but multiple open source solutions in this space, any one of which is better than *all* the ones for Perl (Hibernate, OJB, SimpleORM, just to name a few). Java is just so awful in other ways though, I'd rather fight than switch :). -mda ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
