note CountZero I have used both [cpan://Class::DBI] and [cpan://DBIx::Class] within the framework of [cpan://Catalyst]. As [cpan://DBIx::Class] has a more active and lively community, I prefer it, even when its API is not yet fully settled (it hasn't yet reached version 1 - or one could say it is version "2" of [cpan://Class::DBI]).<p>For smaller <em>non-Catalyst</em> programs I prefer to directly use [cpan://DBI] itself as setting up the OO-framework takes some time.<!-- Node text goes above.
