I wouldn't say that. Maypole is very oriented towards CRUD apps, but
Catalyst should be flexible enough for just about anything.
Indeed, Jesse Sheidlower's Catalyst article says, "Maypole works well
for typical CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) databases on the
Web. It includes a variety of useful methods and prewritten templates
and template macros that make it very easy to set up a powerful web
database. However, it focuses so strongly on CRUD that it is less
flexible for other tasks. One of the goals of Catalyst is to provide a
framework well suited for any web-related project."
In my preliminary investigations, however, none of these projects
address my personal holy grail, however, which is to be able to define
the objects my application manipulates (either via standard Perl or
some specialized definition language) and have the framework itself
generate and manage the SQL for storing them in a database.
I am told (although I have not seen it) that Apple's WebObjects (or
some extension to it) provides this functionality. Is there a Perl
equivalent?
Does Class::DBI not meet that design requirement?
