APM: Catalyst and DBI

[David Bluestein II]

In light of our discussion of Catalyst, Ruby on Rails and Class::DBI, 
here is one persons take on it:

http://www.simplicidade.org/notes/archives/2005/06/ruby_on_rails_a.html

Seems like Catalyst is a little advanced over RoR in general (which may 
also mean that it came second and learned from RoR errors, but I'm just 
speculating on that), but still missing what he calls the 
"ActiveRecord-type" framework, where the framework can effectively 
mimic simple joins, which is the issue with Class::DBI that several of 
us have seen. Seems like that is a common issue. Wonder what Tim Bunce 
(DBI.pm) and others have to think on this and what a solution is. I 
wonder how Ruby on Rails handles it, anyone know?
