In Class::DBI you still have to create the entire database structure (tables, indexes, relationships). Perhaps Myk is looking for more of an Object Persistence framework like Tangram or SPOPS. Here is a page that has a lot of details on the different object to database mappers and persistence frameworks available in perl: http://poop.sourceforge.net/ I have never used Apple's WebObjects, so I have no idea if any of this comes close to it...
