in reply to Object Oriented SQL
There are a half dozen object-DB-ish things in Perl. Trying to recall off the top
of my head, I'd say Tangram, Class::DBI, and something called
Alzabo. Look at the Poop Group Archives for more ideas, or even subscribe to the list.
There's a nice paper on Class::DBI as well.
