No. We looked at it, but not very hard.

This is an interesting resource:

    poop-group, poop-scoop mailing lists

Our current poop iteration is a custom MVC structure and the Perl 
Template Toolkit (get the O'Reilly book). It's cruising along, and 
we're happy with it. A couple years ago the available poop stuff wasn't 
flexible enough to handle our corner cases (composite primary keys, 
etc.)...

I believe Maypole was Simon's baby, and he recently retired the 
computer scene. I don't know how strong the community is.

If you get into it let us know!!
