in reply to Re: Class::DBI vs. DBIx::Class
in thread Class::DBI vs. DBIx::Class

To me, the DBIx:: modules are more useful as facade interfaces to DBI, and the class::dbi modules are helpful to define relations between tables
DBIx::Class does that too -- it's basically (y, i know i'm generalizing) a fork/provides same (type of at least; does differ in some) functionality as CDBI (note that the docs say that the "object API is inspired by Class::DBI")
