You also might want to check out Rose::DB and Fey.

As I understand it, Fey is for those who are comfortable with SQL, but would still like some power by abstraction. I think I'll use it next time I get to start fresh on a database project. If you want an ORM, there is also Fey::ORM

Rose::DB was featured in a three part introduction by Randal Schwartz:
