There were some talks given at YAPC::EU on this subject and related matters. I point you to davorg's slides What's wrong with ORM, which I think should really have been titled "What's wrong with Class::DBI" as DBIC has fixed many of these issues.

In another talk, Matt Trout explained the positive vibes in the community which have made DBIC a success, and exceeded his initial ambitions.

I'm using CDBI for some database application stuff (not web stuff). Although it's slower than raw DBI SQL, this is to be expected. The main problem I have is that I had to modify CDBI to get it to work with Sybase mixed case columns; I submitted a patch to Tony Bowden, but this patch has not been accepted. I'm currently reviewing DBIC with a view to migrating.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
