2) Functionality for generating SQL on the fly, using somewhat complex
graph theory
I remember Ovid mentioning he did a similar thing at his previous company. I don't believe either of you have released these powerful modules to CPAN.
And count me in as another person doing the same thing and not releasing it to CPAN.
Quite frankly, you already HAVE stuff to do this in CPAN. It's practically just another Class::DBI OO->DB persistant datastore for the most part.
Class::DBI SQL::Routine Tangram Rosetta etc etc etc
CPAN has a number of perfectly workable modules as it is.
FWIW, in my case I've tried on a number of occasions to split it out to CPAN, about 20-30 of my CPAN modules are spin-offs from my system, but unfortunately, the SQL generation is tied to the data type objects, which is tied to the widget library, which is all tied to the metadata subsystem.
Summary, it simply can't be broken down into small enough pieces.
I would imagine others are in the same situation.
