Ugh. Please don't recommend any of the object-relational mappers as a way around learning SQL. All ORMs I've seen so far allow you to avoid writing simple SQL statements, but horribly fail once your needs go beyond fetching single rows. Some ORMs allow you to define how to join tables together, but they all fail once your needs go towards more complex statements.
In addition, ORMs are the wrong way to think about your data. They make you think of aggregates over your data in terms of Perl loops instead of pushing the work down to the database. Also, they either force you to write a separate class representing a query result or think that all results you will ever fetch from the database correspond to a single row in one table. Neither approach makes much sense to me.
Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
