DBIx::Class - Because the brain is a terrible thing to waste.
This is a sql to oop mapper, inspired by the Class::DBI framework, and meant to support compability with it, while restructuring the insides, and making it possible to support some new features like self-joins, distinct, group bys and more.
It's currently considered EXPERIMENTAL - bring this near a production database at your own risk! The API is *not* fixed yet, although most of the primitives should be good for the future and any API changes will be posted to the mailing list before they're committed.

If you're using Class::DBI, replacing
use base qw/Class::DBI/;
with
use base qw/DBIx::Class/; __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/CDBICompat Core DB/);
will probably get you started.
If you're using AUTO_INCREMENT for your primary columns, you'll also want yo load the approriate PK::Auto subclass - e.g.
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/CDBICompat PK::Auto::SQLite Core DB/);
(with is what ::Test::SQLite does to present the Class::DBI::Test::SQLite interface)
If you fancy playing around with DBIx::Class from scratch, then read the docs for DBIx::Class::Table, ::Row, ::Schema, ::DB and ::Relationship,
use base qw/DBIx::Class/; __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core DB/);
and have a look at t/lib/DBICTest.pm for a brief example.
