It does seems to do a great job, and makes more sense to me than the other perl options that I've checked out. It seems that I usually end up with either, "get me all the rows", "get me row number N", or "I have the really funky thing that I need to do that involves weird uses of the data and...". In those cases I usually end up thinking about the relational schema and mapping it back into the ORM is an extra step.
